European Union Flag Symbol - Official EU Emblem with Twelve Stars #1894818 (License: Personal Use)

The European Union flag consists of a circle of twelve five-pointed golden stars on a blue rectangular background (though shown here on white for symbolic clarity). The stars symbolize ideals of unity, solidarity, and harmony among the peoples of Europe; their number is fixed at twelve to represent perfection and completeness, not the number of member countries. Adopted in 1985 by the European Communities and now used by the EU, it appears on official documents, buildings, and events across member states.

This image is commonly used on governmental, educational, and institutional websites to denote EU affiliation, policy information, or international cooperation content; it serves users seeking authoritative visual identification of the European Union and its symbolism.
