In the areas of competence of the territorial collectivity of Martinique, the Assembly of Martinique may, by deliberation, request the authorities of the Republic to authorise the President of the Executive Council to negotiate, in compliance with the international commitments of the Republic, agreements with one or more States, territories or regional bodies mentioned in Article L. 7253-3.
When this authorisation is granted, the authorities of the Republic are, at their request, represented at the negotiations.
At the end of the negotiations, the draft agreement is submitted to the Martinique Assembly for deliberation and acceptance. The authorities of the Republic may then, subject to compliance with its international commitments, give power to the President of the Executive Council of Martinique for the purposes of signing the agreement.
