Nordic CooperationNordic cooperation is based on a common cultural heritage, a common history and common values with regard to people, democracy and justice.Political cooperation between the Nordic countries was initiated in 1952 with the founding of the Nordic Council. The Nordic Council is a form of cooperation of the Nordic parliaments with the Council of Ministers as the organ of the governments. Each country is represented in the Council of Ministers with its own minister. Nordic cooperation also takes place in areas such as economics, research, education, the labour market, the environment and culture. Among other things, an agreement exists concerning a common labour market, a common social network, access to higher education, and the right to vote on a communal level. Since 1954 citizens of the Nordic countries have been able to cross regional borders without a passport. Denmark, Finland and Sweden are members of the European Union. Finland uses the euro as currency. Denmark, Iceland and Norway are members of NATO.
