  • You confuse prepositions as in/on/at and the two indefinite articles a/an. Try to learn the basic grammar terms for word classes, sentence parts, and verb forms. Please change your headline. – rogermue Jul 17 '15 at 05:33

  1. a and an are indefinite articles, not prepositions.

  2. You use the one that makes sense when you read the phrase out loud. In this case, you use a because European is pronounced as if it begins with a consonant (sounding like y as in yellow) and not as if it begins with a vowel.
