32For the purpose of responding to those questions, it must at the outset be observed that the claim for reparation brought in the main proceedings concerning the period between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2006 falls, as the referring court rightly held, partly under the provisions of Directive 93/104, which was in force until 1 August 2004, and partly under those of Directive 2003/88 which, from 2 August 2004, codified the provisions of Directive 93/104. However, since the relevant provisions of those directives are drafted in terms which are in substance identical and since, for that reason, the answers to be given to the questions referred by the referring court are the same no matter which directive applies, reference need only be made, for the purposes of answering those questions, to the provisions of Directive 2003/88.
