Round 5: Tossup 10

Description acceptable. A year after the largest instance of this action, a tourism board ran ads with a handsome plumber to spoof a stock character invoked by opponents of it. The PHARE restructuring program was created to assist in this action. The Copenhagen criteria were drawn up in anticipation of multiple instances (10[1])of this action (-5[1])after (10[1])the breakup of the Soviet Union. The “petit oui” was a lukewarm response to one proposed instance of this action, which was rejected by two referendums in Norway. The abandonment (10[1])of preliminary steps toward taking this action by the government (10[1])of Viktor Yanukovych triggered the (-5[1])Maidan (10[1])uprising. The adoption of a common (10[1])currency following this action is governed by criteria laid out in the Maastricht Treaty. For 10 points, name this action that was (10[1])reversed by Brexit. ■END■ (0[1])
