On this day, December 8, 1955 the Council of Europe adopted the Flag of Europe.
Agains the blue sky, the stars symbolise the peoples of Europe in the form of a circle, a sign of union. Their number is invariably 12, the figure twelve being the symbol of perfection and entirety.
The flag was adopted by the European Communities, the predecessors of the present European Union in 1986.
