• To secure that members of trade unions assigned to the agreement are given proper legal advice and support when taking up a temporary position in another Nordic country.
• To strengthen the Nordic model by promoting continued membership of a trade union with a collective agreement in the financial sector upon permanent relocation to another Nordic country.
