78In that regard, it must be observed that the broad discretion enjoyed by the EU institutions in the sphere of measures to protect trade, by reason of the complexity of the economic and political situations which they have to examine (see judgment of 18 October 2018, Gul Ahmed Textile Mills v Council, C‑100/17 P, EU:C:2018:842, paragraph 63 and the case-law cited), also covers the determination of the existence of significant distortions within the meaning of Article 2(6a)(b) of the basic regulation and the decision to produce the report provided for in Article 2(6a)(c) of that regulation. The same applies to factual situations of a legal and political nature in the country concerned which the EU institutions must assess in order to determine whether an exporter operates in market conditions without significant State interference (see, by analogy, judgment of 11 September 2014, Gold East Paper and Gold Huasheng Paper v Council, T‑443/11, EU:T:2014:774, paragraph 163 and the case-law cited).
