The Overseas Departments and Regions : a Status à la Carte
The rewriting of article 73 of the Constitution at the time of the 2003
Constitutional revision has tended to modify the architecture of the
overseas departments as it had been established in 1946. The system
was reinforced by certain dispensations from the common law. This
reinforcement of the exception represented by the adaptation of the
judicial system makes it possible for the populations of these territories
to envisage a statutory evolution à la carte, regarding organic law
as well as material law. A differentiated institutional evolution has thus
become possible. The corollary of this « institutional autonomy » is
the reinforcement of their normative autonomy. The overseas departments
have indeed been granted a greatly amplified possibility of
adaptation and now have at their disposal a real normative power.
