Giovanni La Via  (PPE ),

I voted for this resolution, which will include the French Caribbean territory of Saint-Barthélemy among the overseas countries and territories. This change will have obvious structural and economic benefits for this territory. A higher level of political and institutional relations, such as that provided by the status of overseas territory, will allow for greater attention to be given to Saint-Barthélemy’s needs at all levels of the economy and local representation.
