Image:Flag of Europe.svg

English: The Flag of Europe consists of a circle of twelve golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. It is most commonly associated with the European Union (EU), formerly the European Communities, which adopted the flag in the 1980s. However it was first adopted by the Council of Europe (CoE), which created it in 1955.

The number of stars has nothing to do with the number of Member States. There are twelve stars because the number twelve is traditionally the symbol of perfection, completeness and unity. The flag therefore remains unchanged regardless of EU enlargements.

Русский: Флаг Европы содержит кольцо из двенадцати золотых(жёлтых)звёзд на синем фоне.Его обычно связывают с Европейским союзом,ранее Европейским сообществом,которое приняло этот флаг в 1980-х.Но впервые флаг был принят Советом Европы,который создал его в 1955. Число звёзд не означает число государств-членов.Здесь двенадцать звёзд,потому что число двенадцать традиционно символ совершенства,законченности и единства.

The European emblem may be used only if:

there is no likelihood of the user of the emblem being confused with the European Community or the Council of Europe;
the emblem is not used in connection with objectives or activities which are incompatible with the aims and principles of the European Community or of the Council of Europe.

Permission to use the European emblem does not confer on those to whom it is granted any right of exclusive use, nor does it allow them to appropriate the emblem or any similar trademark or logo, either by registration or any other means. Each case will be examined individually to ascertain whether it satisfies the criteria set out above. This will be unlikely in a commercial context if the European emblem is used in conjunction with a company's own logo, name or trade mark.
