Gunnar Wetterberg, a Swedish historian and trade union official, has called for the Nordic countries to form a tightly integrated union -- or "ice bloc" -- similar to the 15th century Kalmar Union of Sweden, Denmark and Norway. He made the proposal Monday at a seminar of the Nordic Council, a loosely organized talking shop of political officials from the former Kalmar nations as well as Iceland and Finland. "The EU comes nowhere close to what Nordic union could achieve," said Wetterberg.
