( Overseas department)
(incl. overseas regions) (incl. overseas departments) Since 1982, following the French government’s policy of decentralisation, they have elected regional councils with powers similar to those of the regions of metropolitan France. As a result of a constitutional revision which occurred in 2003, these regions are now to be called overseas regions; indeed the new wording of the Constitution gave no precedence to the phrase overseas department or overseas region, though the latter is still virtually unused by the French media. name="External_links" id="External_links">
