POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE
Report
The Commission Amicale between the States of Jersey and the Conseil Régionale de Basse Normandie was established by the States on 31st January 1995 following the closure of the French Consulate in Jersey in the early 1990s, with the aim of reinforcing cultural and commercial links between Jersey and France.
One of the Jersey delegation's aims for 1999 was to increase co-operation between Jersey, Lower Normandy and also Brittany in the longer term, and the Jersey delegation will be pursuing closer links with Brittany this year given the obvious gateway to this region through St. Malo.
The Jersey delegation's membership is drawn from different Committees to ensure that as wide a spread as possible of mutual interests between the two communities is represented. Following the reconstitution of the States, and the formation of Committees, in some cases those members who formerly represented the views of a particular Committee no longer serve on those Committees.
Accordingly the Jersey delegation to the Commission feels that a change in its membership is desirable, to maintain the spread of interests, and proposes the following as new members -
D e p u ty A.S. Crowcroft D e p u ty M.E. Vibert
D e p u ty J-A. Bridge.
Together with existing members, this will ensure that the interests of the Policy and Resources, Finance and Economics, Planning and Environment, Industries, Education, Public Services, Agriculture and Fisheries, Tourism, Sport, Leisure and Recreation, Home Affairs and Postal Committees are represented, as well as the Jersey Transport Authority and the Comité des Connétable s.
The benefits of this membership are clear, given the importance of transport links, the commercial opportunities that may be available, not to mention mutual interests including commercial fishing, planning and tourism issues.
