In the exam (German)
2007 wurde das 50-jährige Jubiläum der "Römischen Verträge" gefeiert. Was war der Inhalt der Verträge?
- aGermany's accession to NATOBeitritt Deutschlands zur NATO
- bthe founding of the European Economic Community (EEC)Gründung der Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft (EWG)Correct answer
- cGermany's obligation to pay reparationsVerpflichtung Deutschlands zu Reparationsleistungen
- destablishing the Oder-Neiße line as the eastern borderFestlegung der Oder-Neiße-Linie als Ostgrenze
Why?
The Treaties of Rome were signed in Rome on 25 March 1957 – 50 years later, in 2007, was the anniversary. With them, six states, including the Federal Republic, founded the European Economic Community (EEC, in German EWG) and the European Atomic Energy Community. The EEC is a forerunner of today's EU; Germany joined NATO in 1955, and that has nothing to do with Rome.
