Milestone for Europe: GREECE JOINS COMMON MARKET - Gene H Hogberg - March 1981

Gene H Hogberg

The world's largest economic power expands from nine to ten- and it may not stop there. Here is the significance of Greece's entry into the European Community. ON NEW YEAR'S Day, 1981, Greece became the European Community's tenth member. Greece's accession expands the Community - commonly called the Common Market - to nearly 270 million people. Of far more significance, the EC has solidified its position as the world's number one economic and trading power. Most Americans, Canadians, Australians and others living in the Western world not directly tied into the Community's worldwide linkages, have little comprehension of its global impact. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
