When did the UK join the European Economic Community (EEC)?
Correct Answer: In 1973
The United Kingdom joined the European Economic Community (EEC) on 1 January 1973, under Prime Minister Edward Heath.
The UK had declined to join the founding members in 1957 but later applied. A referendum in 1975 confirmed membership. The UK ultimately left the EU — the EEC's successor — following the Brexit referendum in 2016.
