The Territorial Council is consulted by the Minister responsible for Overseas Territories on proposals for acts of the European Community and the European Union taken in application of the stipulations of the treaties relating to the European Union and the European Community applicable to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, which have a particular impact on the situation of the archipelago.
The opinion of the Territorial Council is deemed to have been obtained within one month of the referral. This period is reduced to fifteen days in urgent cases at the request of the representative of the State.
The Territorial Council may submit proposals to the Government for the application to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon of the treaties relating to the European Union and the European Community.
