Greenland's Project Independence
NO. 10 JANUARY 2021 Introduction Greenland’s Project Independence Ambitions and Prospects after 300 Years with the Kingdom of Denmark Michael Paul An important anniversary is coming up in the Kingdom of Denmark: 12 May 2021 marks exactly three hundred years since the Protestant preacher Hans Egede set sail, with the blessing of the Danish monarch, to missionise the island of Greenland. For some Greenlanders that date symbolises the end of their autonomy: not a date to celebrate but an occasion to declare independence from Denmark, after becoming an autonomous territory in 2009. Just as controversial as Egede’s statue in the capital Nuuk was US President Donald Trump’s offer to purchase the island from Denmark. His arrogance angered Greenlanders, but also unsettled them by exposing the shaky foundations of their independence ambitions. In the absence of governmental and economic preconditions, leaving the Realm of the Danish Crown would appear to be a decidedly long-term option. But an ambitious new prime minister in Nuuk could boost the independence process in 2021. Only one political current in Greenland, tice to finances. “In the Law on Self-Govern- the populist Partii Naleraq of former Prime ment the Danes granted us the right to take Minister Hans Enoksen, would like to over thirty-two sovereign responsibilities. declare independence imminently – on And in ten years we have taken on just one National Day (21 June) 2021, the anniver- of them, oversight over resources.” Many sary of the granting of self-government people just like to talk about independence, within Denmark in 2009. -

GRU Alm.Del - Bilag 13 Offentligt
Grønlandsudvalget 2019-20 GRU Alm.del - Bilag 13 Offentligt RIGSOMBUDSMANDEN I GRØNLAND Dato: 8. november 2019 Samtlige ministerier mv. Indberetning fra rigsombudsmanden i Grønland Nationalbankens analyse Nationalbanken har offentliggjort en ny analyse af Grønlands økonomi. Under overskriften ”Stærk fremgang, men reformer er nødvendige” beskrives det, at den gunstige udvikling i økonomien fortsætter, primært på grund af større fangster af fisk og skaldyr, der kan afsættes til gode priser på verdensmarkedet. Den gunstige udvikling giver både fremgang i indkomster og i beskæftigelse, men medfører også fremgang i offentligt forbrug og investeringer. Analysen advarer om risiko for overophedning af økonomien, især i forbindelse med de store investeringer i anlæg af ny lufthavne i Ilulissat, Nuuk og Qaqortoq.

Væksten ventes at blive 2,2 pct. i 2019 og 3,3 pct. i 2020. Det grønlandske fiskeri tegner sig for mere end 95 pct. af vareeksporten fra Grønland, og halvdelen af eksporten udgøres af rejer. Verdensmarkedspriserne på rejer er i de seneste år fordoblet i forhold til 2010. Rejefiskeriet er MSC-certificeret (dvs. anerkendt som bæredygtigt af Marine Stewardship Council), hvilket fremmer muligheden for at afsætte rejerne internationalt. MSC-certificeringen forudsætter, at kvoterne overordnet set følger den biologiske rådgivning. Den gunstige udvikling i fiskeriet har medført en stigning i landskassen indtægter fra ressourceafgifter. Indtægten fra ressourceafgifter var 425 mio. -

Greenland, the Arctic, and the Issue of Representation 77
Greenland, the Arctic, and the Issue of Representation 77 Chapter 3 Greenland, the Arctic, and the Issue of Representation: What is the Arctic? Who Has a Say? Inuuteq Holm Olsen Greenland’s Premier Kim Kielsen opened the 2019 annual Arctic Assembly in Reykjavik with these words: We have always been of the conviction that our country should play a natural and central role on topics that concerns the Arctic, and when the Arctic is on the agenda, it has already been estab- lished that Greenland is an essential element of the decision-mak- ing process, and we will always participate to carry on with this responsibility. Whenever the Arctic is discussed within the Realm, Greenland always plays a central role. Thus we are of the conviction that it should be natural for Greenland to occupy a permanent seat in the Danish delegation to the Arctic Council.1 The centrality of Greenland’s role in Arctic issues is crucial, espe- cially when it comes to its geographic location and the political dy- namic relationship within the Kingdom of Denmark. Why? Because representation and identity matters in the Arctic as to who represents you. And in the Greenlandic case Danish remote control slowly has been and will continue to be redressed as autonomy continues to be expanded. Premier Kielsen was speaking in Greenlandic. His words in the last sentence regarding Greenland representing the Realm at the Arc- tic Council in Greenlandic—“Pissusissamisoortutullu uagut isigaarput Kalaallit Nunaat Issittumi Siunnersuisooqatigiinni Naalagaaffiup aallarti- taattut issiavik tigummissagipput”—mean that as we see it, Greenland should—naturally—occupy the seat that Denmark currently occupies at the Arctic Council. -

Executive Summary
The Greenland-Danish Self-Government Commission’s Report on Self-Government in Greenland Executive Summary April 2008 Background to the establishment of the Greenland-Danish Self-Government Commission The historical background, including the Greenland Home Rule Arrangement Before the introduction of Home Rule in 1979, the Greenland population was only involved in the government of the country to a limited extent. From the colonisation of Greenland in 1721 and up to about the middle of the 19th century, Greenland was administered by the Danish Government. In the middle of the 19th century, elected assemblies were established: so-called managers were elected to administer local matters. In 1911, local councils were set up and two provincial councils. The primary tasks of the local councils were the administration of social assistance and the maintenance of law and order. The provincial councils were responsible for discussing joint concerns for the individual provincial council district and were entitled to present proposals to the authorities in Denmark. In 1925, the local and provincial councils were supplemented with district councils that were to provide assistance to business and the labour market in Greenland in the form of loans, subsidies and the like. In 1951, the above-mentioned councils were replaced by municipal councils and one joint provincial council covering all Greenland, respectively. The primary task of the common provincial council was to act as an adviser in relation to the Danish Government. The council had only very limited, direct responsibility for societal tasks in Greenland. In the period from 1945 to 1954, Greenland figured on the list of non-self-governing territories under Chapter XI of the United Nations Charter, and during this period Denmark had to submit reports on the situation at regular intervals to the relevant decolonisation bodies of the United Nations. -

Nuup Kangerlua is a complex fjord system that is home to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, and Kapisillit, a small village inst in the fjord. The fjord is mostly wilderness where hunting, fishing, recreation activities, tourism, transport, and perhaps soon to be iron ore mining take place. -
