In its report dated 6 May 1983 on the request for Greenland’s withdrawal from the Community, the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee gives its assent to this development and the subsequent revision of the Community treaties. While it approves the granting of ‘overseas country and territory’ status to this territory, the committee regrets its desire to withdraw from the Community. It recommends that the rights and obligations of the Community and Greenland should be set out in an additional agreement.
