1986 enlargement of the European Communities
The members of the Communities in 1986; Portugal and Spain, highlighted in yellow, acceded that year.
- ... that when Spain joined the European Communities in 1986, it had a larger fishing fleet than all the other Community members put together?

Date, length and hook all OK. QPQ not needed but done anyway, no close paraphrasing, map picture licence fine. Good to go. Well done on your first nomination too @Naypta: The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:18, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
