45With regard to Directive 77/92, without its being necessary to rule on whether the terms ‘broker’ and ‘insurance agent’ must necessarily be construed in the same manner in Directive 77/92 as they are in the Sixth Directive, suffice it to note that, for the reasons stated by the Advocate General in points 90 and 91 of his Opinion, the activity of an association such as Taksatorringen fails to satisfy the conditions of Article 2(1)(a) or 2(1)(b) of Directive 77/92. The assistance in the administration and performance of contracts of insurance referred to in Article 2(1)(a) of that directive is in addition to the activities involved in introducing persons seeking insurance and the insurance companies and in preparing and concluding insurance contracts and that referred to in Article 2(1)(b) of that directive involves the power to render the insurer liable in respect of an insured person who has incurred a loss.
