Territorial Council Of Saint-Martin
The Collectivity of Saint Martin was a French commune for many years and formed part of Guadeloupe, which is an overseas ''région'' and ''département'' of France and is therefore in the European Union. In 2003, the population of the French part of the island voted in favour of secession from Guadeloupe in order to form a separate overseas collectivity (COM) of France. On 9 February 2007, the French Parliament passed a bill granting COM status to both the French part of Saint Martin and neighbouring Saint Barthélemy. The new status took effect once the local assembly was elected on 15 February 2007. Saint Martin remains part of the European Union.

On 25 July 2008 Fleming resigned after being sanctioned by the Conseil d'État ...
