37Finally, as regards the effect of the fact that, in the present case, the contracts at issue have been concluded before the entry into force of Directive 2009/73, it should be recalled that the latter does not create a new scheme, but is a direct continuation of Directive 2003/55, which Directive 2009/73 repealed and replaced. Accordingly, the latter directive has the same objectives as Directive 2003/55 and leaves unchanged the content of its substantive provisions, including those concerning access to the distribution system, provided for, respectively, in Article 18 of Directive 2003/55 and Article 32 of Directive 2009/73 (see, in that effect, judgment of 26 March 2015, Commission v Moravia Gas Storage, C‑596/13 P, EU:C:2015:203, paragraph 37).
