President Gibbs with delegates in Brussels for the OR conference.
MARIGOT–President of the Collectivité Daniel Gibbs is currently in Brussels where he was present Wednesday for the meeting of Presidents of the Outermost Regions (OR) and President of the European Parliament Antionio Tajani.
The European Commission’s proposals for the outermost regions and the negotiations under way on the next multiannual financial framework were discussed in particular.
Gibbs was received at the Ministry of Overseas Territories by Minister Annick Girardin in Paris earlier this week to discuss St. Martin and its emergencies and priorities. This was followed by the conference of the Presidents of the ORs in Brussels.
Today, June 28, he will meet Karl Lambertz President of the European Committee of the Regions. He will also meet the Presidents of the ORs for an internal meeting and he will also take part in a dinner given in honour of Overseas Territories by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron and his wife at the Elysée Palace.
At the end of the week on June 30, the President will participate in the Q4 Netherlands-France- St. Martin-Sint Maarten cooperation meeting on common issues such as post-event crisis management (hurricane, earthquake, etc.), cross-border European projects, customs and maritime cooperation, immigration, waste management and more.
The Collectivité noted that Jeunesse Soualiga Association’s road safety prevention campaign project has been selected as part of the blue book of the Assises de l’Outre-Mer. Its president Jean-Marc Gervais departed for the Elysée Palace, where he will appear before a jury today to present the Soualiga Jeunesse project.
Through City Manager Maggy Gumbs, the local authority’s economic centre has been able to select around 10 projects within the framework of the Overseas France conference, which are part of the city’s activities. The Soualiga Jeunesse project is one of them.
