Angèle Dormoy: “the CCISM is once again fully operational”

Angèle Dormoy, President of the CCISM since February 2018 reviews the recent renovation of the changes to the CCISM statutes.

As a result, overall, the changes to the CCISM statutes, validated by the Territorial Council on Wednesday July 11?

Following the change of status, we are detached from the different chambers of Guadeloupe. On December 31, 2008 the employees of the Chamber of Trades and the Chamber of Commerce of Saint-Martin received a letter telling them to return to the parent establishment which was in Guadeloupe. With a group of socio-professionals we met quickly to make up for the obvious absence: there would no longer be a chamber of trades or commerce on December 31, 2008. Elections were quickly organized. Admittedly, for lack of time at the time, everything was done in a rush. Not only to organize the representation of companies, but also to ensure the continuity of jobs for Saint-Martin employees. We have chosen a territorial public establishment (EPIC). The Collectivity therefore created this establishment. And it had all the conventions to be able to function as CCISM: chamber of trades, chamber of commerce and chamber of agriculture. We have created an interprofessional consular chamber governed by statutes signed in 2009.

These statutes have had their day, we have come to see their limits. There were always questions that arose and for which there was no answer in the statutes. From there we turned to the other national organizations. So, with the lawyer of the Collectivity, and certain elected representatives of the CCI, we have since 2014 worked on the recasting of the CCISM statutes by sticking a little more to what is done at the national level while keeping the specificities of Saint -Martin.

All roles are now well defined. Until today, the authorizing officer was the management with great criminal power, which during any concern… everything was brought back to the ground as in the other CCIs. Until then we had always used an accounting which did not fit with that of the public treasury (different nomenclature). We have set up internal regulations which notably determine the organization of the elections in this way we do not have to redo any statutory changes. The statutes remain more global elements, since it is easier to modify an internal regulation than a statute. We had proposed the renewal of these statutes several times in different governments and it had been rejected each time, except by the team of Daniel Gibbs. I think everyone was afraid that the CCI would become autonomous, they had not quite understood the request for statutory amendment.

This is the purpose of the renovation of our statutes. There are a lot of readjustments to stick to our daily reality. The organs are much more detailed and the role of each person is well determined. They clearly define the missions of the ICC.
