Analysis
Summary
Chapter 5 of the law focuses on cooperation between Greenland's Self-Government and the national authorities regarding laws and administrative regulations. The government is required to send proposals for laws that apply to Greenland to the self-government for their opinion before they are presented to the Folketing. The self-government's opinion is also sought for government proposals that contain provisions exclusively for Greenland or have special significance for Greenland. The same process applies to draft administrative regulations. The self-government's opinion is awaited before the issuance of administrative regulations that exclusively apply to Greenland or have special significance for Greenland. Deadlines may be set for submitting opinions in both cases.
