September 25th

On this day – 25th September 1972 – Rejected Norway EU membership through a referendum 

Norway had been considering to join the European Union (then called European Community) previously as well, but their application had been denied. In 1972, however, had the main terms for Norway’s membership been negotiated and only a yes from the population stood between Norway’s membership in EU. However, the no side won the referendum with a 53.3 percent and Norway withdrew their application. The same happened in 1994, and Norway have still not joined the EU.
