Denmark is one of the countries in Europe. Like many of those countries, it decided to join the European Economic Community, now called the European Union, in 1973, because it saw the benefits of membership.
What was then known as the EEC started in 1957, with 6 countries. Ireland, Denmark joined it with the UK in 1973. It is now known as the European Union, and currently has 27 members. See the link below for a full list of membership:
Yes. Both joined what was then known as the European Economic Community in 1986.
Britain joined the EEC (European Economic Community - as it then was) with effect from 1 January 1973. Two previous applications to joined had been vetoed by Charles de Gaulle in 1963 and 1967.
No countries joined the EU in 2009. You cannot say what the previous three were as two joined at the same time in 2007 and ten joined at the same time in 2004.
It doesn't have a specific number. In 1973 it joined what was then called the European Economic Community. There had been 6 countries as members before that, but on the same day that it joined, both Ireland and Denmark joined, so there were then 9 countries in it. None of them could be said to be the 7th, 8th or 9th country to join. In 1993 the European Union officially came into existence, by which time there were 15 members, so they could all be said to have become members at the same time too.
Denmark.
There is no 7th member of the EU. What was later to become the European Union was founded by 6 countries in 1957. On the 1st of January 1973, the membership jumped directly to 9 when 3 new countries joined. Those 3 countries were Ireland, the United Kingdom and Denmark. None can really be said to be the 7th member, as they all joined at the same time.
Spain and Portugal both joined the European Union at the same time and were the 11th and 12th member states.
