40 Years Since Spain’s Accession to the EEC: A Perspective from European Mobility

Madrid, June 2025

This month marks four decades since Spain signed its Accession Treaty to the European Economic Community (EEC)— a milestone that launched a new era of political, economic, and social integration with the rest of Europe.

At DLF International Movers, we proudly join this commemoration by highlighting how this historic event helped shape values that are now part of our DNA: European mobility, international logistics, and cross-border cooperation.

A boost to freedom of movement

Spain’s entry into the EEC in 1985 brought open borders, regulatory harmonization, and the consolidation of a common market. For sectors like international moving and corporate relocation, this meant a profound transformation: smoother cross-border transitions, new business opportunities, and growing demand for specialized services.
