46As a preliminary point, first, it should be borne in mind that as regards the intensity of the review carried out by the EU authorities, the Court has consistently held that where those authorities have a broad discretion, in particular as to the assessment of highly complex scientific and technical facts in order to determine the nature and scope of the measures which they adopt, review by the EU judicature must be limited to verifying whether the exercise of such powers has been vitiated by a manifest error of appraisal or a misuse of powers, or whether those authorities have manifestly exceeded the limits of their discretion (order of 4 September 2014, Rütgers Germany and Others v ECHA, C‑290/13 P, not published, EU:C:2014:2174, paragraph 25, and judgment of 14 November 2013, ICdA and Others v Commission, T‑456/11, EU:T:2013:594, paragraph 45). The same applies to complex economic assessments, since the EU judicature also carries out a limited review in those situations (judgments of 2 September 2010, Commission v Scott, C‑290/07 P, EU:C:2010:480, paragraph 66, and of 9 March 2017, Ellinikos Chrysos v Commission, C‑100/16 P, EU:C:2017:194, paragraphs 18 and 19).
