(Saint Martin (French: Saint-Martin), officially the Collectivity of Saint Martin (French: Collectivite de Saint-Martin), is an overseas collectivity of France located in the Caribbean. It came into being on Feb. 22, 2007, encompassing the northern parts of the island of Saint Martin and neighbouring islets, the largest of which is Ile Tintamarre. The southern part of the island, Sint Maarten, is part of the Netherlands Antilles; Saint Martin was for many years a French commune forming part of Guadeloupe, which is an overseas region and overseas departement 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 Feb. 9, 2007, the French Parliament passed a bill granting COM status to both the French part of Saint Martin and neighbouring Saint Barthelemy. The new status took effect when the law was published in the Official Journal on Feb. 22, 2007)
