NATO Integrated Data Service (NIDS)

The NIDS facilitates computer access to NATO press releases, communiqués and official statements, speeches, printed reference books and other documentation. Topics covered include political, military, economic and scientific issues as well as up to date information on NATO's role in the implementation of the Bosnia Peace Agreement (SFOR) and in the Kosovo Force (KFOR). The periodical "NATO Review" and other publications, providing information and analysis of NATO related issues, are also published through the NIDS.

The NIDS also provides access to information and documentation issued by NATO civilian and military agencies and by other related organisations such as the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and Atlantic Councils and Committees affiliated to the Atlantic Treaty Association.

The network of electronic contacts established by the NIDS with Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence, parliaments and academic institutes in NATO and EAPC countries is gradually being expanded, as are electronic information exchanges with other international organisations.

Information available through the NIDS can be accessed via the NATO web site and is also available via electronic mail distribution.
