91It follows, moreover, that if it should be found at the refund procedure stage that application of the method used in the original investigation was not in conformity with Article 2 of the Basic Regulation, the Commission would be required no longer to apply that method (see judgment of 16 December 2011 in Dashiqiao Sanqiang Refractory Materials v Council, T‑423/09, ECR, EU:T:2011:764, paragraph 58 and the case-law cited), bearing in mind that it is for the Commission to demonstrate that the method used in the original investigation was not consistent with Article 2 of the Basic Regulation (see, to that effect, judgment in Huvis v Council, paragraph 86 above, EU:T:2008:258, paragraph 51). On the other hand, to warrant a change in methodology, it is not sufficient that a new method be more appropriate than the old, on the assumption none the less that the old method is consistent with Article 2 of the Basic Regulation (judgment in Huvis v Council, paragraph 86 above, EU:T:2008:258, paragraph 50).
