Relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom date back to the foundation of the European Economic Community in 1957. The United Kingdom has been an important neighbour, was a major member of the European Economic Community since joining in 1 January 1973 (when eight countries were members), and currently is a member until it leaves on 12 April 2019 as per Article 50. History{{See also|History of European Union–United Kingdom relations}}The UK's applications to join in 1963 and 1967 were vetoed by the President of France, Charles de Gaulle, who said that "a number of aspects of Britain's economy, from working practices to agriculture" had "made Britain incompatible with Europe" and that Britain harboured a "deep-seated hostility" to any pan-European project.[1] Once de Gaulle had relinquished the French presidency in 1969, the UK made a third and successful application for membership. Since 1977, both pro- and anti-European views have had majority support at different times, with some dramatic swings between the two camps.[2] In the United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum of 1975, two-thirds of British voters favoured continued EC membership. The highest-ever rejection of membership was in 1980, the first full year of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's term of office, with 65% opposed to and 26% in favour of membership.[2] As a result of the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016 when 52 percent of those who voted supported withdrawal, the UK has engaged in negotiating a Brexit from European Union. TradeUK exports in goods and services to other countries in the EU in 2017 £274 billion out of £616 billion total exports which has generally been declining, since exports to other countries outside the EU have increased at a faster rate.[3] See also{{Portal|United Kingdom|European Union|International relations}}
