Following the referendum, France declared Algeria to be independent on 3 July; the decision was published in the official journal the following day,^[1] and Algerian leaders declared 5 July (the 132nd anniversary of the French arrival in Algiers) to be Independence Day.^[2] When Algeria ceased to be part of France it also ceased being part of the European Communities.^[3]
