Do you know the source of this chart. It was my understanding that EU15 term referred to EU members up to Sweden who joined in 1995. If that is the case, then the EU15 back in the 1970s and 1980s would have included states such as East Germany and Austria which suffered Communist problems. Spain in the 1970s had Franco problems too. I don't think either of the regimes were conducive to economic growth.
But, I could be proven wrong
