The Homerule System In May 1979 The Home Rule Government was established. Thus, Greenland obtained status as a special cultural identity within the Kingdom of Denmark, a status the Faeroese had procured in 1948. A basic tenant of the Home Rule Government is that administration of Greenlandic matters be conducted by the Greenlandic authorities whereas cases pertaining to the Danish Kingdom fall under Danish jurisdiction. The transfer of all the areas deemed necessary to the proper functioning of the Home Rula Government have now been completed. It has taken place gradually. The first transfer placed responsibility for the municipalities with the Home Rule Government in 1979 at its formation. The next step was the transfer in 1980 of responsibility for schools, church, the social system, and the tax department amongst others. The State run Royal Greenland Trade Department (KGH) was transferred in 1985-86 and was re-named The Greenland Trade Department (KNI). The Greenland Technical Organization later re-named Nuna-Tek, was transferred in 1987, as was responsibility for the housing section and infra-structure. The last major sector transferred was the Department of Health in 1992. greenland-guide.dk Homerule System
