20In the second place, the Court held, as regards Directive 2003/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and repealing Directive 98/30/EC (OJ 2003 L 176, p. 57, and corrigendum OJ 2004 L 16, p. 74) which – unlike Directive 2009/73 which replaced it – contained no provision explicitly granting market operators a right to apply to the courts for legal review of decisions of a national regulatory authority, that, when that national regulatory authority adopts a decision concerning market operators’ access to the natural gas transmission system, on the basis of EU legislation which confers certain rights on a market operator holding a natural gas transmission authorisation, that market operator must be regarded as potentially having its rights infringed by that decision, even if it is not the addressee thereof (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 March 2015, E.ON Földgáz Trade, C‑510/13, EU:C:2015:189, paragraphs 38, 48 and 51).
