For decades, people in the Nordic countries have been able to move freely and trade services and goods across borders. COVID-19 showed us that this freedom cannot be taken for granted. In a new report, the National Board of Trade Sweden identifies several areas where Nordic co-operation can be improved.
– There is room for increased Nordic co-operation on the implementation of EU legislation. Different interpretations of common EU legislation must not become a barrier to trade for companies doing business in the Nordic countries, Director-General Anders Ahnlid says.
Nordic standards and mutual recognition of goods are other areas where deepened co-operation could further integrate the common Nordic market.
