Issues of the European elections for Martinique

Here is a letter from the Association for Reconstruction Verdimornaise heritage that we publish in order to better understand the issues of elections for Martinique.

Dear Verdimornaises,
Dear Verdimornais,
Hello,
The European elections approach forces us to reconsider the institutional structure of Europe.
The European Union has several institutions that implement EU policies. Include:
1.La European Commission created by the Treaty of Rome in 1957, composed of 27 commissioners. Its mandate is 5 years. It proposes and puts into practice the policies say. It ensures the implementation of treaties and has the right of initiative. It is independent of the Member States.
2.The Council of the European Union, National Council of Ministers, oversees the development of legislation and vote.
3.The European Parliament (EP), the parliamentary body of the European Union. MEPs are elected by direct universal suffrage for 5 years. They number 736, representing nearly 500 million.
The European Parliament has legislative powers and budgetary control. With the Treaty of Lisbon, its powers will be even larger.
The European Union (EU) currently includes 27 member states. These are: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, UK, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden.
In addition, the European Union includes the Outermost Regions:
a) The four overseas departments French: Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Reunion.
b) The autonomous Portuguese regions: Azores and Madeira.
c) An autonomous community in Spain: the Canary Islands.
In addition, Guadeloupe and Martinique are part of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR) and the Conference of the Islands.
The Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe includes 159 regions with working groups for the formation and intensification.

This overview shows you the status of the West Indies, Outermost Regions and allows us to make the nesting, the position of Martinique in the European Union.
In a few days, June 6, 2009, you will be asked to go to the polls to vote, choose the candidate who will represent you and defend your interests in the European authorities.
Many people, both here and in France, do not get excited for this election. It is a mistake because our future depends on it. While we sommeillons, others work for us, exploit us.
Other regions are more experienced, better equipped, better represented, defend their rights and take possession of our property.
Lobbies, pressure groups well seasoned in their favor divert public funds, leaving the remains unusable.
The channels are tortuous, painful ribs, gains modest, poor, very few elected officials want it. Yet this year we will have the chance to have a (an) MP Caribbean (e) and why not Martinique (e). In our political leaders to take their calculator, to conceal their resentments, their grudges, to partner for the election of (the) best (e) candidate (e). Martinique is well worth the sacrifice.
An MEP or MEP is an elected European Parliament. He is a member of a transnational, involving several European nations, according to their political affinities. There are also individual members.
The member is a continuous function, either in Parliament in Strasbourg or Brussels. From time to time, he or she visits his constituency. About a third of MPs are women.

France will be represented by 72 MEPs, from eight constituencies:
Ile de France: 13
Southeast: 13
Southwest: 10
Northwest: 10
Is: 9
West: 9
Massif Central Centre: 5
Overseas: 3

UNIT OVERSEAS

Overseas Constituency has been divided into three sections:
Atlantic: Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique,
St. Barthelemy, St. Martin,
St. Pierre and Miquelon.
Indian Ocean: Mayotte, Reunion
Pacific: New Caledonia, French Polynesia,
Wallis and Futuna.

Each zone will be elected.
Eleven lists will be presented (document attached).
These elections will be based on a voting system very complex.
The three seats overseas will be distributed to lists, proportional representation, with the highest average, based on the results of all the riding ultra-marine.
The election will have a turn.
In this ultra competitive diving the stakes are high: up to carry the voice to one who has the skills and has the best chance to collect the largest number of votes regardless of ideology by asking non-voters normal to the polls, in short square the circle. If not, decide the fate ...
And now, all the polls June 6
"After the battle, there will be casualties."
See you soon.
