To initiate new projects, partly to improve comparisons of statistics, and partly to ensure the most rational use of Nordic expert knowledge in the field, 3. To inform about Nordic statistical activities, mainly by publishing annual statistics as well as the results of special projects, surveys, etc., 4. To co-ordinate and take part in international statistical collaboration, including activities in the Baltic countries.[1]
