Correct answer: zur Europäischen Union. the European Union.

Why?

When the DDR (East Germany) joined the Federal Republic in 1990, the eastern states also became part of the European Community, today’s European Union. The Warsaw Pact was dissolved in 1991, and OPEC is an organisation of oil-exporting countries. The European Defence Community was never founded.

Key term: Europäische Union = European Union
