25In that regard, it must be borne in mind, firstly, that Directive 85/577 does not contain any explicit definition of the concept of ‘insurance contract’. Furthermore, nor does that directive refer expressly to the law of the Member States on that point. Thus, as dictated by the requirements of both uniform application of European Union law and the principle of equality, the scope of the term ‘insurance contract’ must be sought having regard to the context of the directive and must be given an autonomous and uniform interpretation throughout the European Union (see, to that effect, Case 64/81 Corman [1982] ECR 13, paragraph 8, and Case C-98/07 Nordania Finans and BG Factoring [2008] ECR I-1281, paragraph 17).
