Pays d'outre-mer - All About All The only territory currently to have this appellation is French Polynesia, which was formerly a territoire d'outre-mer, but its status was changed by constitutional reform on 28 March 2003. A pays d'outre-mer (in English Overseas Country) or POM, is an administrative division of France. If New Caledonia, currently a collectivité sui generis, chooses to remain part of France in a referendum scheduled for 2014, it will also become a pays d'outre-mer. www.allaboutall.info /article/Pays_d'outre-mer   (229 words)

French Polynesia's unreciprocated European Status Since the 20th of December 1995, French citizens have gained the exclusive privilege of exemption from the bond once arriving in the Territoire d'Outre Mer. Court decisions in Papeete/Tahiti have confirmed the validity of EU law for the Territoire d'Outre Mer since 1993.We cannot understand that the local authorities continue to refuse to acknowledge this fact. Our friend Jan van Drunen, a Dutch sculptor who sailed to French Polynesia in 1993 on his sloop Ma'at, is the first european sailor to our knowledge who successfully filed suit before the Tribunal Administratif in Papeete and won against the French authorities. www.pangaea.to /earlier/tahiti   (722 words)

Encyclopedia: New Caledonia New Caledonia was a colony (One of the 13 British colonies that formed the original states of the United States) until 1946, then an overseas territory (territoire d'outre-mer (additional info and facts about territoire d'outre-mer), or TOM) from 1946 to 1999. New Caledonia was also the name of an early settlement in western Canada (A nation in northern North America; the French were the first Europeans to settle in mainland Canada) which later became part of British Columbia (A province in western Canada) ; see New Caledonia (Canada) (additional info and facts about New Caledonia (Canada)).

The first major expansion occurred in the course of the French intervention in the United States Civil War, and led to the establishment of a protectorate over the Yucatán peninsula in central America.

Djibouti In 1946, the reform of the French overseas possessions made of the colony an overseas territory (territoire d'outre-mer) called Territoire français des Afars et des Issas, which gained an autonomy status in 1957 and independence in 1977 as the Republic of Djibouti. Concerning the flag, the only possible flag except the French national flag could have been the colonial Governor's flag, that is a square blue field with the French national flag in canton and a swallow tail, used only during the colony period. The "description" of the flag is as ambiguous as the description of the French flag in the French Constitution. www.fotw.net /flags/dj.html   (487 words)
