<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 733559, member: 39&quot;]Errm, no. The 12 stars are the Stars of Europe, used by both the Council of Europe and the European Union (which are two different entities). <a href="http://europa.eu/abc/symbols/emblem/index_en.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://europa.eu/abc/symbols/emblem/index_en.htm" rel="nofollow">http://europa.eu/abc/symbols/emblem/index_en.htm</a> The euro area, or euro zone if you prefer, had 11 members when it started in 1999, and today has 16 members, but that will of course not influence the number of the stars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
