37For the purpose of this examination, two conditions are required to be met. In the first place, the service provider must have a relationship with both the insurer and the insured party (judgment in Taksatorringen, C‑8/01, EU:C:2003:621, paragraph 44). That relationship can be only indirect if the provider is a subcontractor of the broker or agent (see, to that effect, judgment in J.C.M. Beheer, C‑124/07, EU:C:2008:196, paragraph 29). In the second place, its activities must cover the essential aspects of the work of an insurance agent, such as the finding of prospective clients and their introduction to the insurer (see, to that effect, judgment in Arthur Andersen, C‑472/03, EU:C:2005:135, paragraphs 33 and 36).
