SYMBOLIC DESCRIPTION
Against a background of blue sky, 12 golden stars form a circle representing the union of the peoples of Europe. The number of stars is fixed, 12 being the symbol of perfection and unity.
HERALDIC DESCRIPTION
On an azure field a circle of 12 golden mullets, their points not touching.
GEOMETRIC DESCRIPTION
The emblem has the form of a blue rectangular flag of which the fly is one and a half times the length of the hoist. Twelve gold stars situated at equal intervals form an invisible circle whose centre is the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle. The radius of the circle is equal to one-third of the height of the hoist. Each of the stars has five points, which are situated on the circumference of an invisible circle whose radius is equal to 1/18th of the height of the hoist. All the stars are upright, i.e. with one point vertical and two points in a straight line at right angles to the mast. The circle is arranged so that the stars appear in the position of the hours on the face of a clock. Their number is invariable.
REGULATION COLOURS
The emblem is in the following colours:
PANTONE REFLEX BLUE for the surface of the rectangle;
PANTONE YELLOW for the stars.
FOUR-COLOUR PROCESS
If the four-colour process is used, recreate the two standard colours by using the four colours of the four-colour process.
PANTONE YELLOW is obtained by using 100 % ‘Process Yellow’.
PANTONE REFLEX BLUE is obtained by mixing 100 % ‘Process Cyan’ and 80 % ‘Process Magenta’.

MONOCHROME REPRODUCTION PROCESS

Using blue (Reflex Blue), use 100 % with the stars reproduced in negative white.
REPRODUCTION ON A COLOURED BACKGROUND
If there is no alternative to a coloured background, put a white border around the rectangle, the width of the border being 1/25th of the height of the rectangle
