All the overseas territories signed theirs in 2019, except Saint-Martin. "The process was slower than for other territories because when we sign the contracts with the Overseas Ministry, Saint-Martin gets up from Irma and prepares to face his future differently and we therefore postponed this signature, "explained Annick Girardin while also admitting that there were" some misunderstandings between the State and the COM ".
The signing of this contract is "the culmination of a long process between the State and the COM" which will allow the financing of projects and "the development of [Saint-Martin] through its assets These are 159 million euros that will be committed until 2022.
