REPORT
The Commission Amicale 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. The Jersey delegation is mirrored in France by a similar delegation formed by the Conseil Régional de Basse Normandie.
The Commission Amicale expresses its gratitude to the former Senator P.F. Horsfall, O.B.E., Connétable H.G. Coutanche, and Deputies K.W. Syvret, M.B.E. and R.C. Hacquoil for their membership and participation on the Commission.
The nomination of members for the Jersey delegation to the Commission Amicale attempts to cover the areas of mutual interest between the two communities. In proposing the list of members, the aim has been to ensure that the Committees with present or potential interests are represented on the Commission. The particular Committees are Policy and Resources, Finance and Economics, Economic Development, Education, Sport and Culture, Health and Social Services and Harbours and Airport.
The benefits of this membership are clear, given the importance of transport and trade links, the commercial opportunities that may be available and other areas of mutual interests including commercial trade, agriculture and tourism. The Jersey delegation will continue to circulate its reports annually in respect of the work being undertaken by the Commission.
There are no additional financial or manpower implications for the States arising from the adoption of this proposition.
