The Publications Department serves as the publishing house for the Nordic Council of Ministers Secretariat. We produce about 180 publications a year. About half of them consist of project reports, on the basis of which political decisions are often reached (the TemaNord series). The other half convey political messages (the ANP series). The Department also advises the Council of Ministers on matters concerning publishing and its visual identity. All publications are available as free downloads from www.norden.org/NordPub
