Treat Greenland as part of Denmark #357

Closed StephenAbbott closed 1 year ago

StephenAbbott commented 1 year ago

Greenland is an autonomous country and has its own parliament and legislation. But it adopted Danish company law (including business register and dissolved its own) in 2018. This means that it has its own ISO code as a separate country but the beneficial ownership information for companies from Greenland is on the Danish BO register:

The Greenlandic Parliament has implemented the Danish Companies Act with effect from 1 January 2018. The implementation of the Danish Companies Act has implied that the Greenlandic Business Register (GER) has been dissolved and that all companies registered in GER are automatically transferred to the Danish Business Register (CVR) (link)

We've just added a Greenland page to our country tracker and this is now showing up on the Open Ownership Map https://www.openownership.org/en/map/country/greenland/

This issue is for us to record this situation and to try to work out how best in future to update the OO Map so that it shows the correct situation and details for Greenland. Should we add Greenland tag to all Danish commitments and implementation details?
