Greenland originally joined the European Communities (EC) as a part of Denmark in 1973, but left the EC following a referendum in 1985. Today, Greenland is one of the overseas countries and territories (OCT) of the Union, within the meaning of Article 355(2) TFEU. Greenland’s economy is highly dependent on fisheries and the export of fishery products to the EU. The first fisheries partnership agreement with Greenland was established after its withdrawal from the EC in 1985, on the basis that the Community could retain its traditional fishing rights by paying an annual financial compensation in return. The FPA between the EU and the former Home Rule Government of Greenland was adopted on 28 June 2007 with the current Protocol, which sets out the yearly fishing opportunities and financial contributions until 31 December 2012. Empowered by the Council mandate of 19 July 2011, the European Commission has held rounds of negotiations with the Government of Greenland to renew the Protocol due to the expiration of the current Protocol on 31 December 2012. On conclusion of these negotiations, a new Protocol was initialled on 3 February 2012 covering a period of three years starting on 1 January 2013. I believe that the current Fisheries Partnership Agreement with Greenland is coherent with the aims of the common fisheries policy and with the principle of sustainable fishery and that it is of great mutual benefit to both parties."@en1
