The functioning of the elected groups may be the subject of deliberations without the decisions relating to the compensation system for elected representatives being modified on this occasion.
The elected groups are constituted by the submission to the President of the Assembly of Martinique of a declaration, signed by their members, accompanied by a list of their members and their representative.
Under the conditions it defines, the Assembly of Martinique may assign to the groups of elected representatives, for their own use or for joint use, administrative premises, office equipment and cover their documentation, mail and telecommunications costs.
The President of the Executive Council may, under the conditions set by the Assembly and on the proposal of the representatives of each group, assign to the groups of elected representatives one or more persons. The Assembly of Martinique shall allocate to the budget of the territorial collectivity, in a chapter specially created for this purpose, the appropriations necessary for this expenditure, which may not exceed 30% of the total amount of the allowances paid each year to councillors to the Assembly of Martinique, including social security charges.
The President of the Executive Council shall be the authorising officer for the above expenditure.
The elected representative responsible for each group of elected representatives shall decide the terms and conditions for the performance of the service that these collaborators perform for the group.
