SYMBOLIC DESCRIPTION U.K.

Against a background of blue sky, twelve golden stars form a circle representing the union of the peoples of Europe. The number of stars is fixed, twelve being the symbol of perfection and unity.

HERALDIC DESCRIPTION U.K.

On an azure field a circle of twelve golden mullets, their points not touching.

GEOMETRIC DESCRIPTION U.K.

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 center 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 one eighteenth 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 U.K.

The emblem is in the following colours:

• PANTONE REFLEX BLUE for the surface of the rectangle;
