253In that regard, it should be borne in mind that, according to the case-law, the possibility of taking into consideration, in certain circumstances, post-investigation period data is justified in the context of investigations intended, not to find injury, but to determine whether there is a threat of injury which, by its very nature, requires a prospective analysis. Those data may thus be used to confirm or invalidate the forecasts in the Commission regulation imposing a provisional countervailing duty and allow, in the former case, the imposition of a definitive countervailing duty. However, the EU institutions’ use of those data regarding the period following the investigation period cannot escape review by the Courts of the European Union (see, by analogy, judgment of 4 February 2021, eurocylinder systems, C‑324/19, EU:C:2021:94, paragraph 41).
