No to the EU (NTEU) (Norwegian: Nei til EU) is a Norwegian bipartisan political organization opposed to Norwegian accession to the European Union.[2][3] Formed in 1990, No to the EU successfully campaigned against EU membership in the 1994 referendum on the issue through a massive mobilization.[2][1][4] At its peak in 1994, the organization had local chapters in every municipality and 140,000 members, though this has declined substantially to a claimed membership of over 18,000 as of 2024.[2][3] Since the referendum, the organization has focused on opposing Norwegian membership in the European Economic Area and EU influence generally, and in particular the EU energy agency ACER.
