    Transnistria unites with Moldova; Moldova unites with Romania; Moldova and Transnistria automatically become member states, as it were, of the European Union?

        I’m sure, if it happens, there will be a lot for the EU to hash out.

            Depends on your definition of sorted out. The differences are obvious even now, 35 years later.

              I meant on the EU level. I don’t remember changing treaties, voting problems, vetoes…

                  I’m sorry, you’re absolutely right. There was in no way or shape an organization of countries in Europe back then. There was the European Economic Community, but that’s not related with the EU at all, totally different countries.

                  I should have never used the term EU referring to a group of European countries in the 21st century that had absolutely nothing to do with the countries of the EEC.

                  Thank you for correcting me.

                    Wasn’t the fall of the Berlin Wall and incorporation of the former East Germany into the EEC kind of what led to the Maastricht Treaty and the formation of the modern EU?
