50Consequently, irrespective of whether decisions are adopted under Article 6 or on the basis of Article 8 of Regulation No 139/2004, the case-law provides for an identical standard of judicial review. In both cases, as the Commission submits, the review by the European Union judicature of complex economic assessments made by the Commission is limited to checking compliance with the rules governing procedure and the statement of reasons, the substantive accuracy of the facts as well as the absence of manifest errors of assessment or misuse of powers. In that respect, it should be borne in mind that the European Union judicature must not only ascertain whether the evidence relied on is factually accurate, reliable and consistent but also whether that evidence contains all the information which must be taken into account in order to assess a complex situation and whether it is capable of substantiating the conclusions drawn from it (see, in respect of decisions adopted under Article 8 of Regulation No 139/2004, Case C-12/03 P Commission v Tetra Laval [2005] ECR I-987, paragraph 39, and in respect of decisions adopted under Article 6 of that regulation, Sun Chemical Group and Others v Commission, paragraph 60).
