73Since contracts for public passenger transport services by bus and by tram not relating to concessions had already been made subject, as is apparent from paragraph 70 above, to Directives 2004/17 and 2004/18 prior to the adoption of Regulation No 1370/2007, new legislation was not felt to be necessary for the awards of such contracts which, therefore, remain as a matter of course subject, as the case may be, to the application of Directive 2004/17 or Directive 2004/18.
