Council of Europe Flag of Honour

flagaeuropyGdynia received the Council of Europe Flag of Honour in 1996. The Flag is granted to city boards or other local authorities for promotion of the European idea. Against the blue sky 12 golden stars form a circle, representing the union of the peoples of Europe. The number of stars is invariable, 12 being the symbol of perfection. The European Flag has been an official symbol of European Union since May 1986.
