Saint-Barthélemy, an oversea territory of France, changed their status from Outermost Region (part of the EU) to Overseas Country and Territory (not part of the EU, but cooperating) in 2012.
No, not by referendum. As Saint-Barthélemy is an oversea territory, there was a special provision in the law. Art. 50 TEU was not triggered. Instead, Arts. 349 & 355 TFEU were. S-B parlament voted to switch from OMR to OCT, France obliged & filled in the paperwork.
