27With regard to Directives 2014/24 and 2014/25, which repealed and replaced Directives 2004/18 and 2004/17 respectively, and which, unlike the latter two directives, no longer define the concept of ‘concession contract’, which is now governed by Directive 2014/23, the Court pointed out that those two directives (in Article 12 of Directive 2014/24 and Article 28 of Directive 2014/25) codified and made clear the case-law developed by the Court on direct awards, which demonstrates that the EU legislature intended that direct award regime to be linked to those two directives (see, to that effect, judgment of 21 March 2019, Verkehrsbetrieb Hüttebräucker and Rhenus Veniro, C‑266/17 and C‑267/17, EU:C:2019:241, paragraphs 77 and 78).
