BACKGROUND: Austria joined the EU in 1995, along with Sweden and Finland, marking the EU’s fourth enlargement. Austria’s decision was finalized by a national referendum, in which a majority voted in favor of membership. 1 Previously, Austria struggled with the idea of joining the EEC, as it was apprehensive of compromising its neutrality. 2 Despite years of deliberation concerning the EEC, Austria did not hesitate to partake in other European initiatives, such as the EFTA, of which it was a founding member. In 2002 Austria successfully implemented the euro as its official currency.
