Yes. The European Union succeeded the European Economic Community. The European Economic Community (EEC), also known as the Common Market, was founded on 25 March 1957 with the signing of the Treaty in Rome, and came into operation in January 1958. The original member states included Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany (now Germany). Britain initially declined to join the EEC, establishing the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) in 1960 instead. Significant economic growth by the EEC caused Britain to reconsider by the early 1960s: however, its application for membership was vetoed by France, due to Britain's close ties to the USA. Britain finally gained entrance to the Common Market in 1973, as did Ireland and Denmark. Greece joined in 1981, Portugal and Spain in 1986, and the former East Germany as part of reunified Germany in 1990. In 1993, the European Union succeeded the EEC, paving the way for the creation of a central European bank and common currency, and a common defence policy.
