Each of the Regional Councils of Guadeloupe, Mayotte and Réunion may, on its own initiative or at the request of the Prime Minister or the Minister responsible for the overseas departments, submit to the latter proposals for the amendment or adaptation of legislative or regulatory provisions in force or in the process of being drawn up, as well as any proposals relating to the conditions for the economic, social and cultural development of the region. These proposals may relate to the differentiation, referred to in Article L. 1111-3-1, of the rules relating to the allocation and exercise of powers applicable to these regions, in order to take account of differences in situations.
The proposals adopted by the regional councils in application of the first paragraph of this article are forwarded, by the regional council presidents, to the Prime Minister, to the State representative in the regions concerned and, when they relate to legislative provisions, to the presidents of the National Assembly and the Senate.
The Prime Minister acknowledges receipt of the proposals forwarded to him. An annual report will indicate the action taken on these proposals. This report is made public.
Each of the regional councils mentioned in the same first paragraph may also make to the Prime Minister any comments or suggestions concerning the operation of the State’s public services in the region.
The Prime Minister acknowledges receipt within fifteen days and sets a deadline within which he will provide a substantive response.
