Greece's entry into the EC was part of a larger trend of Southern European countries joining the Community, as Spain and Portugal joined in the mid-1980s.

The integration of Greece helped stabilize the region politically after a period of dictatorship in the 1970s.

The entry into the EC provided Greece with significant economic benefits, including financial aid and access to the common market.

The year 1981 marked an important milestone for the EC, contributing to its expansion and deepening integration.
