 | | The C.E.S.C. is an advisory group which is consulted by the Government of French Polynesia or the Assembly of French Polynesia regarding projects that have an economic, social or cultural nature. | | | This institutional outline, which closely resembles that of a French Department, was not what the people of Tahiti were expecting. | | | Furthermore, the political responsibility of the Polynesian Government could be put into use when there was a vote on a motion of censorship at the Assembly of French Polynesia. |
