tell me the story of the EU stars :)?

Answer 1

First, it was used for the Council of Europe.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Europe
Later, the EU took it over.

The number of stars on the flag is fixed at 12 and is not related to the number of member states of the EU. In 1953, the Council of Europe had 15 members; it was proposed that the future flag should have one star for each member, and would not change based on future members. West Germany objected to this as one of the members was the disputed area of Saarland, and to have its own star would imply sovereignty for the region. On this basis, France also objected to fourteen stars, as this would imply the absorption of Saarland into Germany. Myth has it that the Italian representative then objected that thirteen was an unlucky number, as well as the fact that early flags of the United States featured that number of stars. Twelve was eventually adopted as a number with no political connotations and as a symbol of perfection and completeness[2] because of the ubiquity of the number for groups in European cultures and traditions such as:
12 symbols of the zodiac
12 hours on a clock
12 months in a year
12 Apostles
12 Caesars chronicled by Suetonius
12 Olympian gods
12 tables of Roman Law

Answer 2

The EU stars represent the countries in the EU. When more join then there are more stars. Just like the American flag of sorts.

Answer 3

Hi. 25 stars on a unified EU flag? I don't think countries will want to part with their "Old Glories" quite yet.

Answer 4

There are one for each member of the EU at the time the current flag was designed.

Answer 5

Number 12 is perfect number 12 apostols, 12 houers, 12 months ...

Answer 6

12 on the same points as the hours of a clock.

Answer 7

One for each lie Tony Blair has told. Soon they'll need a much bigger flag.
