Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The British decision to join the European Union in 1973 led to strict agricultural protection policies which affected New Zealand's agricultural exports. This event is commonly known as the "UK joining the Common Market" and had a major impact on New Zealand's economy as it heavily relied on exporting products to the UK. These protection policies imposed high tariffs on imported products, including agricultural goods, and made it difficult for New Zealand to compete in the European market.
