OSLO (Reuters) - A growing number of Norwegians would like their country to join the European Union, although the "no" camp still holds an edge, an opinion poll showed on Wednesday, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the last referendum Norway held on the question.

The Nordic country last said "no" to joining the European bloc, on Nov. 27-28, 1994. It also voted against membership in a 1972 referendum.
