Constitution Review Group release second interim report

30 June 2008

Jersey’s politicians will meet tomorrow (Friday 27 June) to be briefed on the Island’s developing constitutional and international relationships.

States members will also receive the second interim report Adobe PDF Logo from the Island’s Constitution Review Group.

This group was formed in 2005 and its latest report was commissioned by Jersey’s Constitutional Advisory Panel in December 2006. It is part of an ongoing piece of work initiated by the Policy and Resources Committee in 2002.

The report is a contingency exercise, and does not look at the desirability or otherwise of independence. It is a technical assessment of the potential impact on the Island, if it were ever to seek independence.

It makes some recommendations about possible administrative improvements which might assist the island’s external relations within the current constitutional structure.

The Constitution Review Group was established by a Sub-committee of the Policy and Resources Committee in July 2005. It is a non-political, officer-led, group.

Chaired by the Bailiff, the members of the Constitution Review Group are the Chief Executive of the States of Jersey, the Attorney-General, the Adviser on International Affairs and the Director of International Finance.

In compiling its report, the group has been assisted by a large number of senior public servants and others in Jersey, and its work informed by discussions with officials in other small states, such as Barbados, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Malta.
The European Commission in Brussels has also been consulted.
