传统的北欧国家一般是指丹麦、芬兰、瑞典、挪威和冰岛。现在出现—种“新北欧”的概念,范围从5国扩大为9个国家和地区。新增的4个国家和地区是:爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛和联合王国(英国)中的苏格兰。今年6月至9月期间,本人有机会两次分别到丹麦和芬兰、瑞典、挪威访问,参观了几个大型制造业公司也接触了若干中小型机械企业,还与有关的行业协会、商会和贸促组织进行了洽谈,因而对北欧四国机械制造业的情况有了—些实地了解。 Traditional Nordic countries generally refer to Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Now comes the concept of a kind of “new Nordic” that has expanded from five to nine countries and regions. The four additional countries are: Scotland in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the United Kingdom (United Kingdom). From June to September this year, I had the opportunity to visit Denmark and Finland respectively, Sweden and Norway twice. I also visited several large manufacturing companies and also contacted a number of small and medium-sized machinery enterprises. I also worked with relevant trade associations, chambers of commerce and trade associations CCPIT held discussions, and thus had some in-depth understanding of the machinery manufacturing industry in the four Nordic countries.
