"I voted for this resolution because it ensures that the decision adopted by the Council on 29 October 2010 is implemented, whereby, following the request made by France, the French collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy changed its status from an outermost region to an overseas country and territory associated with the European Union from 1 January 2012. I think that this change of status will benefit Saint-Barthélemy, according to its specific characteristics and needs.
At the same time, its link with the European Union is maintained, thanks as well to the euro currency continuing to be used, and its inhabitants will retain their status as European citizens. The decision does not prejudice the interests of the European Union and incorporates relations with Saint-Barthélemy into a new partnership and cooperation framework. At the same time, the new status will allow the collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy to develop its relations with other regional players. Amending Annex IA to Council Decision 2001/822/EC by inserting a new indent to include Saint-Barthélemy in the list of overseas countries and territories is the natural consequence of changing the status of the French collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy."@en1
