Nei til EU (English: No to the EU) is the main Norwegian interest group opposing a future Norwegian accession to the European Union (EU). It began informally in 1988 and became a full organization in 1990.^[1]

Criticism

While presenting itself as politically neutral, the organisation has been accused of largely being a leftist organisation consisting mostly of Socialist Left Party and Centre Party members. In addition, the organisation has also been noted for rejecting, as well as being rejected by, eurosceptic Progress Party members.^[2]
