I won't crow because to be fair I wasn't certain about that when I made my post & thus did not mention 1987. But you are wrong on that as on so many other things.

Labour's aim is to work constructively with our EEC partners to promote economic expansion and combat unemployment. However, we will stand up for British interests within the European Community and will seek to put an end to the abuses and scandals of the Common Agricultural Policy. We shall, like other member countries, reject EEC interference with our policy for national recovery and renewal.

Must have got it confused with the 1983 manifesto.
I read them all just this week.
From the 1983 manifesto -
"We will also open immediate negotiations with our EEC partners, and introduce the necessary legislation, to prepare for Britain's withdrawal from the EEC, to be completed well within the lifetime of the Labour government."
