I voted to endorse the Commission proposal for Saint-Barthélemy to become the 26th country and territory associated with the European Union. I share the opinion that the change of status will enable the island of Saint-Barthélemy to consolidate its relations with regional partners and the ACP countries, and will thus help disseminate the European model and European values. I am certain that by adopting the status of overseas country and territory, Saint-Barthélemy will enter into a new reciprocal partnership with the European Union. Saint-Barthélemy will keep the euro as its currency and its citizens will remain European citizens. It is very important that its bonds with the European Union remain intact.
