Summary
| Description |
Беларуская: Сцяг Еўропы, які ўяўляе сабою 12 залатых пяціканцовых зорак, размешчаных па кругу, аналагічна лічбам на цыферблаце гадзінніка. Выкарыстоўваецца Еўрапейскім Саюзам і Саветам Еўропы.
Čeština: Vlajka Evropské unie
Deutsch: Die Europaflagge besteht aus einem Kranz aus zwölf goldenen, fünfzackigen, sich nicht berührenden Sternen auf azurblauem Hintergrund.
Sie wurde 1955 vom Europarat als dessen Flagge eingeführt und erst 1986 von der Europäischen Gemeinschaft übernommen. Die Zahl der Sterne, zwölf, ist traditionell das Symbol der Vollkommenheit, Vollständigkeit und Einheit. Nur rein zufällig stimmte sie zwischen der Adoption der Flagge durch die EG 1986 bis zur Erweiterung 1995 mit der Zahl der Mitgliedstaaten der EG überein und blieb daher auch danach unverändert.Ελληνικά: Σημαία της Ευρώπης
English: The Flag of Europe is the flag and emblem of the European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE). It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. It was created in 1955 by the CoE and adopted by the EU, then the European Communities, in the 1980s.
The CoE and EU are distinct in membership and nature. The CoE is a 47-member international organisation dealing with human rights and rule of law, while the EU is a quasi-federal union of 27 states focused on economic integration and political cooperation. Today, the flag is mostly associated with the latter. It was the intention of the CoE that the flag should come to represent Europe as a whole, and since its adoption the membership of the CoE covers nearly the entire continent. This is why the EU adopted the same flag. The flag has been used to represent Europe in sporting events and as a pro-democracy banner outside the Union.Español: La Bandera de la Unión Europea consta de doce estrellas amarillas sobre fondo azul. Inicialmente, era el símbolo utilizado por el Consejo de Europa, quien adoptó la bandera el 8 de diciembre de 1955, inspirándose probablemente en alguno de los múltiples diseños que se atribuyen a Arsène Heitz, un pintor de Estrasburgo, con el propósito manifiesto de que fuera utilizada por el mayor número de organizaciones posible, fomentando así la integración de Europa. Posteriormente, también las Comunidades Europeas adoptaron este símbolo, que hoy representa a la Unión Europea.

Français : Le Drapeau européen est le symbole non seulement de l’Union européenne, mais aussi de l’unité et de l’identité de l’Europe dans un sens plus large, puisqu'il a d'abord été le drapeau du Conseil de l'Europe. Le cercle d'étoiles dorées représente la solidarité et l’harmonie entre les peuples d’Europe. Le nombre d'étoiles n’est pas lié au nombre d’États membres. Les créateurs du drapeau, Paul M.G Lévy et Arsène Heitz, voulaient représenter la couronne de 12 étoiles de la Vierge Marie de la rue du Bac à Paris. Ainsi, le drapeau reste le même, indépendamment des élargissements du Conseil de l'Europe (actuellement 46 membres) ou de l'Union européenne (actuellement 27 membres).

Italiano: La Bandiera dell'Europa raffigura dodici stelle dorate disposte in cerchio su campo blu. Anche se la bandiera viene comunemente associata all'Unione europea, venne inizialmente usata dal Consiglio d'Europa, ed è pensata per rappresentare l'intera Europa geografica e non una particolare organizzazione come la stessa Unione europea od il Consiglio d'Europa.

Русский: Флаг Европы содержит кольцо из двенадцати золотых(жёлтых)звёзд на синем фоне.Его обычно связывают с Европейским союзом,ранее Европейским сообществом,которое приняло этот флаг в 1980-х.Но впервые флаг был принят Советом Европы,который создал его в 1955.
Число звёзд не означает число государств-членов.Здесь двенадцать звёзд,потому что число двенадцать традиционно символ совершенства,законченности и единства.

Українська: Прапор Європи, який використовується Європейський Союзом та Радою Європи. Представляє собою синє полотнище з дванадцятьма золотистими зірками, які розташовані радіально навколо центра, і їх розташування таке саме як розташування цифр на годиннику. Вперше прапор був затверджений в 1955 році Радою Європи, а Європейським Союзом він був затверджений як офіційний символ вже в 1980-их роках.

The European emblem may be used only if:
