...they broke out the bubbly. "This is a historic day," declared Rippon. His sentiments were echoed throughout the capitals of Europe. The successful completion of the latest British negotiations, which first began in earnest last fall in Brussels, meant that membership also seems certain for Norway, Ireland and Denmark. By 1973, the Six may well be the Ten, with a combined economic strength surpassing the Soviet Union's and rivaling even the U.S.'s. The French, whose changed attitude made the crucial difference, were jubilant. "After two nights without sleep, you see a satisfied man," exulted French Foreign...
Barring an unforeseen snag, the British are almost certain to leave Luxembourg by the middle of this week with an attractive set of terms, including probably an initial British payment of just under 10% of the EEC budget.

By 1973, the Six are likely to become the Ten, with a combined population of 253 million and a $660 billion gross national product, second only to America's. Later, that number may well be enhanced by the association of other West European nations, such as Portugal, Sweden...
