when did britain vote to join the eec?
5 june 1975
as part of the deal for british entry, france agreed to allow the eec its own monetary resources. however france made that concession only as britain's small agriculture sector would ensure that britain would be a net contributor to the common agricultural policy dominated eec budget. applying together with the uk, as on the previous occasions, were denmark, ireland, and norway. these countries were so economically linked to the uk that they considered it necessary to join the eec if the uk did. however the norwegian government lost a national referendum on membership and hence did not accede with the others on 1 january 1973. gibraltar joined the community with the united kingdom at this point, as can be seen in the long title of the uk european communities act 1972.
