36The entitlement to an indemnity provided for in Article 17(2) of Directive 86/653 serves an essentially remunerative purpose from the point of view of the agent. That indemnity thus serves to remunerate the agent for his or her past efforts, in so far as the principal continues to benefit from the economic advantages resulting from those efforts even after the agency contract has been terminated (see, to that effect, Opinion of Advocate General Wahl in Quenon K., C‑338/14, EU:C:2015:503, points 35 and 36).
