The regional councils of Guadeloupe, Mayotte and Réunion are assisted by a regional economic, social and environmental council and a council for culture, education and the environment.
The composition of the regional economic, social and environmental councils and the councils for culture, education and the environment, the conditions for appointing their members and the date of their installation in their new composition are set by a Conseil d’Etat decree.
When a body is called upon to appoint more than one member to a council, it shall make these appointments in such a way that the difference between the number of men appointed, on the one hand, and women appointed, on the other, is no greater than one. The same rule applies to the appointment of qualified persons.
No general councillors or regional councillors may be members of these councils.
Articles L. 4134-6 to L. 4134-7-2 apply to the chairmen and members of the advisory councils.
