Compare and contrast this speech by European Commission President Malfatti at the 1972 signing of the Accession Treaty with Britain, Ireland, Denmark and Norway with this editorial published by the Presidents of the European Commission, Council and Parliament on the day when Brexit took effect - 31 January 2020.
