Explanation
Norway is not a member of the European Union. This is because Norway has chosen to maintain its independence and has instead entered into other agreements such as the European Economic Area, which allows it to participate in the EU’s single market without being a full member. The QuizMaster of AnsweringExams.Com suggests remembering this fact by associating Norway’s independence with its famous fjords, which are as unique and separate as Norway’s status in Europe, and recalling that July 1973 is not the date Norway joined the EU, but rather a date to associate with Norway’s consideration of EU membership. Other options are incorrect because they are all countries that have joined the EU, with some being founding members or joining in later years, and their histories and relationships with the EU are well-documented. The countries that are members of the EU are tested in competitive exams like PPSC, FPSC, CSS, NTS, MDCAT and ECAT. Practice more at AnsweringExams.Com.
