5:33 Greenland, although is owned by Denmark, it's not part of the EU. The only territories outside Europe that are part of the EU are French Guyana, some small islands around the world (Canary islands, Reunión, Mayotte and Madeira in África and Guafalupe, Martinica and Saint Martin in América) and 2 cities (Ceuta and Melilla in África). All the rest of territories owned by EU members outside Europe are not part of the EU.

Geography is not everything, cause it's not a unifying factor when it comes to cultures and countries. So I think Europe and Asia being separate continents is better, not matter how much geographically linked they are.

[backslay]

we don't want to be called eastern because when people hear "eastern europe" they immediately think of a poor, underdeveloped, russian-worshipping hellscape, that countries like poland or czechia are DEFINITELY NOT.

also, we're western by culture, and calling us eastern makes us look more alien to countries like france or italy, while we're actually more similar to, let's say, france than russia

Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark (which also includes the territories of Denmark and Faroe Islands) is one of the EU members’ overseas countries and territories (OCT) associated to the European Union. Greenland receives funding from the EU for sustainable development and has signed agreements increasing cooperation with the EU.

The associated relationship with the EU also means that all citizens of the Realm of Denmark residing in Greenland (Greenlandic nationals) are EU citizens. This allows Greenlanders to move and reside freely within the EU.

Greenland joined the then European Community in 1973 as a county along with Denmark, but after gaining autonomy in 1979 with the introduction of home rule within the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland voted to leave in 1982 and left in 1985, to become an OCT. The main reason for leaving is disagreements about the Common Fisheries Policy and to regain control of Greenlandic fish resources to subsequently remain outside EU waters.

Greenland is eligible for EU funding. Between 2007 and 2013, the EU allocated approximately €190 million, and between 2014 and 2020, €217.8 million are planned for sustainable development, with focus on education. In 2015, a joint declaration about closer relations between EU and Greenland was signed by Denmark, Greenland and the EU.

In March 2015, the President of the EU Commission, the Prime Minister of Denmark and the Greenland Premier signed 'an umbrella' framework document outlining EU-Greenland relations, a "Joint Declaration on relations between the European Union, on the one hand, and the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, on the other". By this document, the EU confirms its long lasting links with Greenland and reiterates the geostrategic importance of Greenland for the EU.

The Brexit debate has reignited talk about the EU in Greenland, and there have been calls for the island to rejoin the Union.[14] In 2024 an opinion poll found that 60 percent of Greenland's population would vote in favour of re-joining the EU, an increase from 2021 where only 40 percent were in favour.

OCT Status

Greenland is one of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) of the EU due to its political relations to Denmark. As a result, Greenland has some integration with the EU's internal market via association agreements. It is also within the EU's common external tariff but they may charge customs in a non-discriminatory manner. Greenlandic citizens have EU citizenship.[6] OCT nationals can be granted the right to vote for and participate in the election of the European Parliament, subject to the conditions defined by the related member states in compliance with Community law.

Up to 2006, all EU funds to Greenland (then €42.8 million per year) went via the EU–Greenland fishing agreement. Between 2007 and 2013, the EU provided €25 million per year outside of fishing.[8] It has been given aid since it pulled out of the EU (see below) in 1985 to roughly the same amount it was previously receiving in EU structural funds (which it lost the right to receive due to its secession). This amounted to about 7% of Greenland's budget. The amount paid via the fishing agreement was in return for EU vessels fishing in Greenland's waters and to help restructure Greenland's fishing fleet. However, this deal was struck down by the European Court of Auditors, who felt the amount the EU was paying was too high for the quantity of fish caught.

Fun fact: Kazakhstan's European territory is bigger than Germany. Kazakhstan territory is 2, 724, 000, Europe occupies 15 percent of Kazakhstan, it turns out 408 600 km2, German territory 357, 588, so more than a hundred thousand European territory is more than Germany
