People have been saying that Denmark still have a say in Greenland's minerals, resources and environmental policies.
I had read that GoG was to take absolute control from Denmark of they're minerals and Resources on the 1/1/20.
Shortly I can't be wrong,was certain I'd read what i read. Went to find where I'd read this, to find out I was wrong, the date was 1/1/10
please input would be appreciated,am I read something into what I've posted below. I'm reading, "Right to control" - "Under the rules of the Greenland Parliament Act" - "Overall authority" And "Overall administrative authority" as saying Greanland an only Greenland have a say/control.
