Editing Nordic Council (section)

=== Council ===
The Nordic Council consists of 87 representatives, elected from its members' parliaments and reflecting the relative representation of the political parties in those parliaments. It holds its main session in the autumn, while a so-called "theme session" is arranged in the spring. Each of the national delegations has its own secretariat in the national parliament. The autonomous territories{{spaced ndash}}Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Åland{{spaced ndash}}also have Nordic secretariats.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.norden.org/en/nordic-council/the-nordic-council/about-the-nordic-council|title=About the Nordic Council|access-date=8 November 2010|archive-date=24 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141024051850/http://www.norden.org/en/nordic-council/the-nordic-council/about-the-nordic-council/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Council does not have any formal power on its own, but each government has to implement any decisions through its national legislature. With all countries being members of NATO, the Nordic Council has not been involved in any military cooperation.
