Raül Romeva i Rueda  (Verts/ALE ),
in writing.
– In favour. Pursuant to Article 355(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the European Council may, on the initiative of the Member State concerned and acting unanimously after consulting the Commission, adopt a decision amending the status, with regard to the Union, of a Danish, French or Netherlands country or territory referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 355.
By letter of 30 June 2010, the French Republic requested that the European Council adopt such a decision with regard to the island of Saint-Barthélemy, in order to change its status from that of an outermost region to that of a country and territory associated with the European Union.
