Question 4926 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Mikaele Seo draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior and Overseas, responsible for overseas territories, to the representation of the territories within the Territorial Council of the Islands of Wallis and Futuna. The MP indicates to the Minister that Law No. 61-814 of July 29, 1961, as amended, conferring the status of overseas territory on the Wallis and Futuna Islands, provides in Article 10 that a Council is established territorial, to the head of the territory. This council assists the senior administrator in his functions and examines the projects before they are submitted to the Territorial Assembly. The council is currently made up of seven members, which is not representative of the entire territory. For this reason, the deputy requests that the texts be modified so that there are five representatives of the civil party (one in each constituency of Wallis and two in each of the constituencies of Futuna) and that the customary prime ministers of each kingdom (i.e. three) also be members. In this way, the civil part will have five members and the institutional part will have seven. The Territorial Council will thus be made up of twelve members, with the senior administrator having a decision-making voice. The MP underlines that this wish is supported by the Assembly territorial, which in its session of December 5, 2022 expressed a wish to this effect. He asks him what initiatives he intends to take to improve the democratic functioning of the territory in doing so.
