81Given those circumstances, that assurance relationship between the assurance undertaking and the assured consumer falls, as such, within the scope of the concept of ‘assurance contract’ within the meaning of Article 36(1) of Directive 2002/83, such that the consumer who becomes a party to it by acceding to the group unit-linked contract falls within the scope of the concept of ‘policy holder’ within the meaning of that provision. Whether or not the consumer formally becomes a party also to the group contract concluded between the assurance undertaking and the undertaking that is the policy holder is of no significance in that regard.
