On 2 February 1983, the Commission delivers its opinion on the request for a revision of the treaties so as to exclude Greenland from the territorial scope of application of the Community treaties. The Commission gives its approval to the establishment of relations between Greenland and the Community based on those that apply to the overseas countries and territories (OCTs). It proposes that Greenland be added to the list of OCTs and that a protocol be annexed to the treaty to set out the specific terms associated with the particular characteristics of this territory.
