      Re:
   
   Request for a preliminary ruling — Simvoulio tis Epikrateias — Interpretation of the second subparagraph of Article 2(3) of Directive 2002/92/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 9 December 2002 on insurance mediation — Meaning of ‘insurance mediation’ — Exclusion of activities pursued by an insurance undertaking or an employee of an insurance undertaking acting under its responsibility — Scope
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   The second subparagraph of Article 2(3), in conjunction with Article 4(1), of Directive 2002/92/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 December 2002 on insurance mediation must be interpreted as precluding an employee of an insurance undertaking who does not possess the qualifications required under the latter provision from pursuing — on an incidental basis and not as his main professional activity — the activity of insurance mediation where such an employee does not act as a subordinate of that undertaking, even though the latter in any event supervises that person’s activities.
