144In that regard, it should be made clear that, as regards such acts, the Courts of the European Union are required to determine, first, whether the obligation to state reasons laid down in Article 296 TFEU has been complied with and, therefore, whether the reasons relied on are sufficiently detailed and specific, as the General Court also recalled in paragraph 177 of the judgment under appeal, and, secondly, whether those reasons are substantiated, which requires those courts to ensure, as part of the review of the substantive legality of those reasons, that those acts have a sufficiently solid factual basis and to verify the facts alleged in the statement of reasons underpinning those acts (judgment of 22 April 2021, Council v PKK, C‑46/19 P, EU:C:2021:316, paragraph 52 and the case-law cited).
