Flag of European Union

The European Union Flag symbolizes the unity and integrity of the countries of European Union. The European Union Flag has a blue background with twelve golden stars arranged at the center in a circular pattern. Each star has five points.

Contrary to popular beliefs, the twelve stars on the European Union Flag do not represent the members of the union.

The number twelve was adopted because twelve is considered a symbol of perfection. The circle of stars represents the harmony among the people of the Union.
