Group for the European United Left was a Communist political group with seats in the European Parliament between 1989 and 1993.

History

The Group for the European United Left (EUL) was formed on 25 July 1989.

It consisted of MEPs from the Danish Socialist People's Party, the Italian Communist Party, the United Left of Spain (including the Spanish Communist Party) and the Greek Synaspismos.

EUL collapsed in January 1993 when the Italian Communist Party changed its name to Democratic Party of the Left and its MEPs joined the Socialist Group.
