"This report concerns the proposal for a Council decision amending Council Decision 2001/822/EC on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community, following the request made by the French Republic. Pursuant to Article 355(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and by letter of 30 June 2010, the French Republic has requested that the European Council adopt such 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’. According to the rapporteur, this change in status will ‘satisfy the needs and special characteristics of the territory of Saint-Barthélemy without prejudicing the interests of the European Union’, keeping the euro as its currency and its citizens remaining European citizens. Saint-Barthélemy has become the 26th country and territory associated with the European Union. I voted for this proposal as it corresponds to the legitimate aspirations of the inhabitants of Saint-Barthélemy, allowing it to strengthen partnerships with its neighbouring states – countries belonging to the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, and outermost regions of the Caribbean – without prejudicing the interests of the European Union."@en1
