lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because, pursuant to Article 355(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), by letter of 30 June 2010, the French Republic requested that the European Council, after consulting the Commission, unanimously adopt a decision with regard to the island of Saint-Barthélemy, in order to change its status from that of an outermost region to that of a country and territory associated with the European Union. Pursuant to the TFEU, the European Council may, on the initiative of the Member State concerned, adopt such a decision that would make Saint-Barthélemy the 26th country and territory associated with the European Union. Furthermore, by adopting the status of overseas country and territory, Saint-Barthélemy would enter into a new reciprocal and lasting partnership with the European Union that suits its specific characteristics without prejudicing its membership of the European family. Saint-Barthélemy would keep the euro as its currency and its citizens would remain European citizens. Saint-Barthélemy’s bonds with the European Union would therefore remain intact. This change in status would enable Saint-Barthélemy to consolidate its relations with regional players, including the other overseas countries and territories, ACP countries and outermost regions of the Caribbean, thus helping to disseminate the European model and European values."@en1
