In 2015, it will be Denmark’s turn to hold the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The Presidency will concentrate on four themes designed to strengthen and focus the partnership: growth and employment, Nordic welfare, enhanced knowledge of Nordic values by bolstering the Nordic ‘brand’, and a focus on the Arctic. The recent economic crisis poses challenges to social cohesion and underlines the need for new, up-to-date solutions. The Presidency wants to pay greater attention to the problem of inequality on the labour market via ongoing efforts to combat social dumping.
