Question 8 What do the 12 stars on the EU flag stand for? a) The stars symbolise the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of Europe. b) The stars represent the first 12 members of the EU. c) The stars represent the 12 institutions that make up the EU. d) The stars represent the 12 pillars of the EU (trust, fraternity, love, liberty, justice, equality, peace, philantrophy, loyalty, integrity, honesty, strength, innovation, tolerance). The number of stars on the flag is fixed at 12, and is not related to the number of member states of the EU (although the EU did have 12 member states at the time of Maastricht Treaty). This is because it originally was the flag of the Council of Europe.[15] 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.[16][better source needed] Twelve was eventually adopted as a number with no political connotations and as a symbol of unity.[15] While 12 is the correct number of stars, sometimes flags or emblems can be found that incorrectly show 15 (as of the rejected proposal) or 25 (as suggested by some after the expansion of the EU to 25 member states in 2004).[17][18] However, the flag also remains that of the Council of Europe, which now has 47 member states.
