10 years of COM: skills specific to Saint Martin

0

Next Saturday, the community of Saint-Martin will be ten years old. July 15, 2007 saw the birth of the overseas community of Saint-Martin. The opportunity to recall his skills.

On February 21, 2007, the organic law was published in the Official Journal of the French Republic "laying down statutory and institutional provisions relating to the overseas territories creating the collectivity of Saint-Martin, an overseas collectivity endowed with autonomy governed by article 74 of the Constitution ”. It will take effect on July 15, 2007.

Concretely, this means that from that date Saint-Martin is no longer a municipality of Guadeloupe. It is also no longer part of the Regional and Departmental Councils of Guadeloupe. The new community combines these three statutes: it is at the same time a commune, a Region and a Department.

Saint-Martin thus has expertise in matters of taxation, road traffic and road transport, roads, national law, access to the work of foreigners, tourism, town planning, construction, housing, housing and energy.

This means that the COM of Saint-Martin is free to establish the rules it wishes in the fields mentioned. This is how she created her own tax and town planning codes.

Nevertheless, the decisions taken are subject to control of the legality of the State. The prefecture can also refer to the Council of State to ensure that decisions are taken are in accordance with the French constitution.
