Talk:Greenland and the European Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do not think that this article should be merged with Greenland. I believe this can be added on to. Also, this article was looking for specific information. Green caterpillar 19:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm also against the merger; there is a lot to write about this topic. —Nightstallion (?) 12:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fact error?

"Greenlandic citizens have EU citizenship, but cannot vote in EU affairs."

Is there really such a thing as a "Greenlandic citizenship"? Aren't the Greenlandic people Danish citizens, and the non-voting rule applied to Danish citizens residing in either Greenland or the Faroe Island? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.188.97.134 (talk) 09:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Jyllands-Posten

According to Enlargement of the European Union#Greenland: 'There has been some speculation as to whether Greenland may consider rejoining the European Union. On 4th January 2007 the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten quoted the former Danish minister for Greenland, Tom Hoyem, as saying "I would not be surprised if Greenland again becomes a member of the EU...The EU needs the Arctic window and Greenland cannot alone manage the gigantic Arctic possibilities"'

However, that information isn't mentioned here. It could definitely be incorporated in this page's article text. (58.188.97.134 09:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC))
