    Overview
    Présentation
     
    On 14 June 2016 the Prime Minister referred to the ESEC for an opinion on Title 1 of the planning bill in favour of substantive equality Overseas and on the impact assessment associated with this bill. The introduction of the impact assessment notes that: "The aim of this policy is to narrow the development gaps within ten to twenty years, with respect for the status of each overseas community".
     
    The eleven French ove r s e a s communities, across the length and breadth of the globe, harbour extraordinary geographic, historical, institutional,  demographic , economic, social, societal , environmental and cultural diversity between them, as well as within them in some cases.
     
    The review reveals disparities within several Overseas communities compared with the mainland in the following areas: access to everyday services, access to education, access to work, impoverishment and precarity among young people, all of which are enough to justify, in the ESEC's view, a planning bill in favour of Overseas communities.
