That was the BEA job to analyse the operation and the influence of the THS ...
Which they did.

The trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS) began a nose-up movement and moved from 3 to 13 degrees pitch-up in about 1 minute and remained in the latter position until the end of the flight.
That's a factual account of the THS behaviour - and the limit of what the BEA can say.
