	French overseas departments and territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French Overseas Departments and Territories (often abbreviated DOM-TOM for départements d'outre-mer, territoires d'outre-mer) consist broadly of French-administered or -claimed territories outside of Europe.
		These territories have varying legal status and different levels of autonomy, although all have representation in the Parliament of France, and the right to vote in elections to the European Parliament.
		Each inhabited French territory, metropolitan or overseas, is represented in both the French National Assembly and the French Senate.

		Although the French monarchy is often dated to the 5th century, France's continuous existence as a separate entity begins with the 9th-century division of Charlemagne's Frankish empire into an eastern and a western part.
		The overseas territories and countries form part of the French Republic, but do not form part of the Republic's European territory or the EU fiscal area.
		They continue to use the French Pacific Franc as their currency, which was unaffected by the French franc's replacement by the Euro in 2002.

	The Head Heeb: Overseas Europe
		Although the French Pacific territories and Mayotte "are associated with the EU rather than being an integral part of it, their inhabitants may vote by virtue of the French legal principle of the indivisibility of the republic."
		All the overseas territories - which span four continents and have widely varying interests - are lumped together in the new district.
		Even the more populous territories are having a hard time getting enthused, especially since residents of Mayotte and La Réunion, who vote on June 13, will know the results from the rest of the district before the polls open.

	ACT UP/Paris zaps French Health Minister (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The fate of so-called illegal aliens in French overseas territories is a grim caricature of the fate of migrant populations elsewhere in the country: while trying to limit immigration, the French government actually threatens their survival.
		In practice, French overseas territories serve as a testing ground for the French government's policy of repression.
		In addition, the French government's policy of repression makes it impossible to address public health issues surrounding migrant populations: police interfere with medical decisions and patrol the vicinity of clinics and hospitals, thus deterring many from seeking vital care.

		There are two particular points worthy of note as regards the nature of the EU/island territory relationship —- first, the relationship between the EU, on the one hand, and each island territory, on the other, is unique; second, the initial arrangement is not carved in stone and in respect of certain island territories has changed.
		The TOMs are part of the group of Overseas Countries and Territories ("OCTs") whose relationship with the EU is determined under Part Four of the EC Treaty (Articles 182—188).
		The ultraperipheral regions consist of the Portuguese Azores and Madeira, the Spanish Canary Islands and the French Overseas Departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana and Reunion).

		In fact, however, the maintenance of the territorial status quo in Africa is often seen as the wisest course, to preserve what has been achieved by peoples who have struggled for their independence, and to avoid a disruption which would deprive the continent of the gains achieved by much sacrifice.
		So far as the French overseas territories are concerned, and French Sudan and Upper Volta in particular, this means that the colonial phenomenon disappeared on 28 September 1958 when, by an act of self-determination - accomplished through a referendum the authenticity of which has not been challenged by anyone -, those territories chose their status.
		Consequently, by virtue of the theory of State succession, they remain bound by the deliberate or implicit decisions they took or may be deemed to have taken within the framework of the very broad powers they enjoyed before the day of their accession to independence.
