The Convention cannot adopt decisions which is obligating the participating unions, except for decisions according to new unions enrolling, or exclusion of an already participating union. ​ The participating unions is to decide themselves who and how many to represent them at the Convention and meetings. Each union have however only 1 – one vote. ​ In addition to the convention, the NCO has annual meetings, and also video meetings on a regular basis. NCO Convention The executive committee Between the Conventions the NCO is administrated by a government body consisting of the presidents from each participating union. Together they are the executive committee. The executive committee selects a hosting union which is responsible for the administration of the NCO between the Conventions and/or meetings. ​ The role as hosting union is circulated between all the participating unions every second year. In countries which have more than one participating union, they choose among themselves which of the national unions should undertake the role as hosting union. The hosting union attends to the interests of NCO and carry out the made decisions according to the framework set by the Convention and/or the executive committee. The history The NCO was founded in 1923, when the three organization in Norway, Sweden and Denmark met in Gothenburg, Sweden for their inaugurating meeting. They choose the new organization to be named Nordisk Tolltjenestemanns Union (Nordic Custom Officers Union) - later in the seventies - they changed the name to Nordisk Tolltjenestemanns Organisasjon (Nordic Customs Officers Organization). Now the name has changed to Nordic Customs Organization (NCO) since 2024. ​ The founding idea was that the nordic organizations for customs employees of lower rank should start a cooperation, share their magazines and give knowledge about each others work- and wage conditions. They also decided that they should invite representatives from each organization to each others congresses. ​ A few years later in 1927, an organization from Finland also joined in, and then another finnish organization followed, together with an Icelandic organization. As of 2024 there are six organizations from five nordic countries in the NCO.
