The islands of Saint-Barthélemy and Saint Martin, previously communes of Guadeloupe, have now been granted the TOM (Territoire d'Outre-Mer) status.
This means that that they can pass territorial laws, control their fiscal policy, choose to stay in, or leave the European Union, and declare their own public holidays.
