Welcome to No to the EU

"No to the EU" is the main, and in fact the only, broad "cross-political" organization opposed to Norwegian membership of the EU. It organized the opposition to EU membership during the campaign up to the referendum in November 1994.

"No to the EU" defines itself as a broad political coalition with one goal: to keep Norway outside the EU. The organization nevertheless found it useful to develop a common political platform on the questions of democracy, environment and international solidarity.

The main object of coming together in this broad coalition was to avoid the subordination to Brussels that membership would have led to, so that it would still be meaningful for us, in a Norwegian context, to disagree on other poltical issues.
