Saint Martin ((フランス語:Saint-Martin)), officially the Collectivity of Saint Martin (French: ''Collectivité de Saint-Martin'') is an overseas collectivity of France located in the Caribbean. It came into being on 15 July 2007,〔The French law was passed in February 2007, but the new status only came in force once the local assemblies were elected, with the second leg of the vote ultimately occurring on 15 July 2007. See J. P. Thiellay, ''Droit des outre-mers'', Paris:Dalloz, 2007.〕 encompassing the northern 60% of Saint Martin island and neighbouring islets, the largest of which is Île Tintamarre. The southern 40% of the island, Sint Maarten, is one of the four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its capital is Marigot. It has a population of 36,286 (as of Jan. 2011)〔 on . It is separated from the island of Anguilla by the Anguilla Channel. == Politics and government == Saint Martin was for many years a French commune, forming part of Guadeloupe, which is an overseas ''région'' and ''département'' of France. In 2003 the population of the French part of the island voted in favour of secession from Guadeloupe in order to form a separate overseas collectivity (COM) of France. On 9 February 2007, the French Parliament passed a bill granting COM status to both the French part of Saint Martin and (separately) the neighbouring Saint Barthélemy. The new status took effect once the local assembly was elected on 15 February 2007.〔(Les élections du futur conseil territorial font débat - Politique - Nouvelles sur Newmedia.fr - New Media : Infos Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthelémy, Caraïbes - Infos Newmedia.fr )〕 Saint Martin remains part of the European Union.〔The Treaty of Lisbon states that Saint-Martin is a part of the EU. See: (【引用サイトリンク】title=Treaty of Lisbon, Article 349 and 355 ).〕 The new governance structure befitting an overseas collectivity took effect on 15 July 2007 with the first session of the Territorial Council ((フランス語:Conseil territorial)) and the election of Louis-Constant Fleming as president of the Territorial Council. On 25 July 2008 Fleming resigned after being sanctioned by the Conseil d'État for one year over problems with his 2007 election campaign. On 7 August, Frantz Gumbs was elected as President of the Territorial Council. However, his election was declared invalid on 10 April 2009 and Daniel Gibbs appointed as Acting President of the Territorial Council on 14 April 2009.〔http://www.thedailyherald.com/news/daily/l278/shamel278.html〕 Gumbs was reelected on 5 May 2009.〔http://rulers.org/2009-05.html〕 Before 2007, Saint Martin was coded as GP (Guadeloupe) in ISO 3166-1. In October 2007, it received the ISO 3166-1 code MF (alpha-2 code), MAF (alpha-3 code), and 663 (numeric code).〔ISO 3166-1 Newsletter.
