Brussels, 1 September 2026
On Wednesday (2 September), the EU Parliament’s Development and Foreign Affairs committees and the EP Delegation for relations with the North and the EEA/EFTA countries will host a debate with Greenland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Business and Minerals, Múte Bourup Egede.
The meeting is expected to touch on Greenland’s current geopolitical situation as well as on the current and future shape of the partnership between Greenland and the EU. The meeting takes place in the context of ongoing discussions on updating the rules governing the EU’s relationship with Greenland, and other overseas countries and territories (OCTs), and future financial support for Greenland under the EU’s next long-term budget. DEVE is preparing the European Parliament’s position on this revision, and committee MEPs are expected to vote on a draft report in the autumn.
