Abstract
This chapter describes the general framework for Nordic cooperation. Nordic cooperation denotes the cooperative activities and institutions of the states of the north European region, such as Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The background to Nordic cooperation is formed by the close ties that link these states as a result of their geographical proximity, common history, related cultures, and languages, and their similar social and legal systems. The Treaty of 1972 concerning the cooperation in the Field of Transport and Communications deals with transport by land, sea, and air as well as postal and telecommunications services. Its object is to strengthen and develop cooperation with the aim of establishing rationally organized and efficient systems of transport and communications. Practical cooperation within the area of road traffic deals with joint planning and the construction of traffic routes, safety questions, harmonization of national laws on road traffic, and scientific research. In the sphere of air traffic, the airline company SAS was found in 1946, and is partly owned by private interests and partly by the Scandinavian states.
