Britain Joins the European Community (EC)

1973

Information

Britain first began talks to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in July 1961. However the French President Charles De Gaulle vetoed the United Kingdom's (UK) first two applications to join in 1963 and 1967. After De Gaulle left the presidency in 1969 the UK applied again, and this time was successful.

The Treaty of Accession was signed in January 1972 by the Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath. The United Kingdom's membership of the European Community (EC) came into effect on 1 January 1973, together with Denmark and Ireland.
