In this regard, a definition of this issue is as follows: used especially for the accession of new member states to the European Union. The entries on trade policy are here. In 1958 the original six members of the European Economic Community were Belgium, Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The first enlargement came on 1 January 1973 when Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom brought its membership to nine. Greece joined in 1981. The enlargement to twelve came in 1986 when Portugal and Spain acceded. The last enlargement occurred on 1 January 1995 when Austria, Finland and Sweden brought its membership to fifteen. The entries on trade policy in the Encyclopedia are here. Others are awaiting their turn. Membership criteria used to be informal, but in June 1993 the European Council adopted three criteria to judge the readiness for membership of new applicants. These are (a) the applicant country must have achieved stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities, (b) it must have a functioning market economy, as well as the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the European Union, and (c) it must have the ability to take on the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union.
