Dear Hakim, you can

1) create an ETRS89-based Location and then import the map in this
Location. If it is required to land in WGS84, there is r.proj that will
transform the raster map from one Location (say the "new" one based on
EPSG 3035) to the other (say the WGS84).

2) transform the map to wgs84 (use, for example GDAL tools -- perhaps
from inside QGIS)


It all depends what the further processing steps are. Better to avoid
transformations if precision is of interest.

If only quick viewing is of concern, consider using QGIS.
