Summary
Chapter 2 of the law on Greenland's constitutional position in the kingdom deals with the self-government's takeover of specific case areas. Greenland's Self-Government has the authority to decide which areas of action, as listed in the annex of the law, will be transferred to them. If multiple case areas are listed under the same letter or number, they must be transferred simultaneously. Additionally, the self-government can choose to transfer a part of the areas listed in specific categories to themselves. The transfer of case areas listed in List I and List II of the annex will occur at times determined by Greenland's Self-Government, either independently or after negotiation with national authorities. Furthermore, Naalakkersuisut and the government can mutually agree to transfer matters solely concerning Greenlandic affairs, even if they are not specifically mentioned in the annex.
