51The Court has found that the concept of a ‘member of the family’ of a frontier worker able to benefit indirectly from equal treatment under Article 7(2) of Regulation No 492/2011 is the same as that of a ‘family member’ for the purposes of Article 2(2) of Directive 2004/38, which includes the spouse or partner with whom the EU citizen has contracted a registered partnership, the direct descendants who are under the age of 21 or are dependants, and the direct descendants of the spouse or partner. The Court has had particular regard, in this respect, to recital 1, Article 1 and Article 2(2) of Directive 2014/54 (see, to that effect, judgment of 15 December 2016, Depesme and Others, C‑401/15 to C‑403/15, EU:C:2016:955, paragraphs 52 to 54).
