2.An insurance contract covering a large risk as defined in [F3Article 13(27) of Directive 2009/138/EU] shall be governed by the law chosen by the parties in accordance with Article 3 of this Regulation.
To the extent that the applicable law has not been chosen by the parties, the insurance contract shall be governed by the law of the country where the insurer has his habitual residence. Where it is clear from all the circumstances of the case that the contract is manifestly more closely connected with another country, the law of that other country shall apply.
3.In the case of an insurance contract other than a contract falling within paragraph 2, only the following laws may be chosen by the parties in accordance with Article 3:
(a)the law of any [F4relevant state] where the risk is situated at the time of conclusion of the contract;

(c)in the case of life assurance, the law of the [F4relevant state] of which the policy holder is a national;

Where, in the cases set out in points (a), (b) or (e), the [F5relevant states] referred to grant greater freedom of choice of the law applicable to the insurance contract, the parties may take advantage of that freedom.
To the extent that the law applicable has not been chosen by the parties in accordance with this paragraph, such a contract shall be governed by the law of the [F4relevant state] in which the risk is situated at the time of conclusion of the contract.
4.The following additional [F6rule] shall apply to insurance contracts covering risks for which a [F7relevant state] imposes an obligation to take out insurance:
(a)the insurance contract shall not satisfy the obligation to take out insurance unless it complies with the specific provisions relating to that insurance laid down by the [F7relevant state] that imposes the obligation.
