EU Guide The European Union and the Pacific Region Overview Cotonou Agreement A strong regional partnership Regional Partnership Download English brochure (13MB) Download French brochure (8MB) The Pacific region has a number of characteristics that distinguish it from its African and Caribbean partners and defines a special co-operation with the EU. The most obvious is the great physical distance between the 14 PACP themselves and with Europe. Papua New Guinea is the geographical exception. As one half of the second largest island in the world and of the PACP countries, it shares a land border with Indonesia and is just across the Torres Strait from Australia. At the same time, it suffers from internal remoteness due to its extreme topography. A further distinction is the considerably varied pattern of colonial and selfgovernment that preceded independence. The great majority of the African and Caribbean ACP countries were formerly French or British colonies that gained independence in the 1950s or 1960s. The PACP countries (with the exception of Samoa, which gained independence in 1962) attained full independence in the 1970s and 1980s. Nor were the former colonial powers exclusively or primarily European nations.

POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANISATION HISTORY AND CURRENT SITUATION From colony to autonomy Before 1946:French Polynesian institutions were of the colonial type. The first Assembly was created in Tahiti after French annexation (with the proclamation by King Pomare V to the Tahitians) in 1880. At the same time as the formation of the Protectorate, the Colonial Council was established. This Council, com prising 12 members elected for one year (half of them being Tahitians and the other half Europeans), was abolished in 1884. On December 28, 1885, a General Council was created. This consult ative Assembly, the powers of which were limited, was replaced in 1903 by an administrative Coun cil. This new Council, comprised of high ranking public servants from metropolitan France, was criticized for its lack of representativity and was abolished in 1932. Some economic and financial delegations were then created. But the people of Polynesia had to wait until 1946 to be dlrecfly represented. During the whole of this period, executive power was held by a Governor and his administration (the Governor was assisted by a Private Council). The power was then very centralized with some local delegations and power was concentrated in the hands of the Governor. From 1946 to 1958: first experiences of autonomy With the Constitution of 1946. all the inhabitants of the French Union comprising metropolitan France, the overseas departments and ter ritories (Polynesia and New Caledonia included) became French citizens.
