Powers and procedures

The powers and competencies of the assembly are a modified version of those originally granted to the Congress of New Caledonia.[1][4] It meets twice a year with an administrative session in the middle of the year and a budgetary session at the end of the year, for a maximum duration of 45 days each. Extraordinary sessions, not exceeding 15 days, can also take place.[4] Debates can take place in French, Wallisian or Futunian. Interpreters are present and the reports can be written in the three languages.[5]

Presidents of the Territorial Assembly

The assembly is headed by a president elected every year by its members after the opening of the budgetary session.[4]
