When did Barcelona, Spain join the European Union?

Question

i have to do a project, and i cant find when barcelona joined the EU. its driving me crazy!! :-)

Answer 1

Spain joined the EU in 1986.

Answer 2

You need to know when SPAIN joined the European Union (then called the European Community) - Barcelona is a city, not a country.

I know that it was in the early or mid eighties, after Franco's dictatorship had ended, the monarchy was restored, and the king had brought peace, democracy and the rule of law to the country.

I'm not sure, but I seem to remember that Portugal joined the EC at the same date.

Answer 3

Barcelona is a city in SPAIN.  SPAIN joined the EU, not the city.  I don't think cities can make those decisions, independent of their countries.

Answer 5

The European Union is set up with the aim of ending the frequent and bloody wars between neighbours, which culminated in the Second World War. As of 1950, the European Coal and Steel Community begins to unite European countries economically and politically in order to secure lasting peace. The six founders are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The 1950s are dominated by a cold war between east and west. Protests in Hungary against the Communist regime are put down by Soviet tanks in 1956; while the following year, 1957, the Soviet Union takes the lead in the space race, when it launches the first man-made space satellite, Sputnik 1. Also in 1957, the Treaty of Rome creates the European Economic Community (EEC), or ‘Common Market’.

Spain In the European Union.

In 1986, SPAIN and PORTUGAL joined the European Community, making it the Community of Twelve.

In 1992 the Twelve signed the Treaty on European Union.

In November 1993 the Treaty on European Union came into force.

In 1994 accession negotiations were concluded with Austria, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

Austria, Finland and Sweden joined the European Union on January 1, 1995, bringing the number of EU Member States to fifteen. The three new members have accepted all the rights and obligations flowing from the Maastricht Treaty on European Union. All three will soon join the Western European Union as observers, the WEU having become the defence arm of the EU in the Maastricht Treaty.

Enlargement has also brought institutional changes to the EUROPEAN UNION.
