52Contrary to the appellant’s assertions, that sentence cannot be interpreted as meaning that the General Court found that ECHA could, in the light of its broad discretion, disregard the relevant elements of a reliable study the taking into account of which would have altered the overall assessment of the evidence in such a way that the final decision would have been implausible. In particular, the words ‘completely and wrongly’, interpreted in the light of the context of which they are part, refer specifically to the case where ECHA has failed to fulfil its obligation to take account of such relevant, reliable and decisive elements in its assessment. By contrast, the fact that ECHA disregarded the irrelevant elements of a reliable study, or elements that would not, in any event, have been capable of altering the overall assessment in such a way that the final decision was implausible, cannot constitute a manifest error of assessment.
