The Technical Group of the European Right was a far-right political group with seats in the European Parliament between 1989 and 1994.

History

Following the 1989 elections, the previous far-right Group lost its Ulster Unionist [5] and Greek EPEN MEPs. The situation was further complicated when the perennial problem of the European far-right, its inability to form transnational alliances, [6] reasserted itself when MEPs from the German Republikaner party refused to ally themselves with the Italian MSI due to disagreements over the status of South Tyrol. [5] [7] Eventually, the "Technical Group of the European Right" was formed from MEPs from the French Front National, [6] German Republikaner [5] [6] and Belgian Vlaams Blok [5] [6] parties.

In the 1994 elections, the Republikaners failed to reach the 5% cutoff point for German elections and lost all its MEPs. The Technical Group of the European Right no longer had enough MEPs to qualify as a Group [7] and its MEPs returned to the ranks of the independents.
