But I think its actually a serious concern down the road, espercially with the marginalization of power and influence I have heard some of the new entrants are facing. They may be in trhe club, but are they really considered equals?

And those stars on the flag, well they know they dont represent their nation and that could be a point of trouble and resentment at some point.

The US flag is nice this way as it manages to preserve the tradition of the 13 founding states in the red and white bars but gives each state, and thus each newly entering state its own regonition by a white star in the blue field.

Have there been any proposals or requests to add new stars as new member countries join?

Some are more equal than other country ...
For example a polish voter as more weight than a German one ...

Dunno ,but it's not supposed to be a nationnal flag so ...
It's more like in the US there is a flag for the country but each state got one .

I know no tradition nor regulation concerning EU flag

I've one proposition

But it look so uninspired ...

In fact I would prefer a red flag with a gold star in the middle but I've heard there some country already using it ...

Grun, can you explain why "stupid Europeans" ??

BTW I don't want you to write down your political convinction, neither explain why you think EU is a crap; nor I want to debate with you if US is better (?) or other amenities.

I just want to know why , if someone is acting in a way you don't share, it must be "stupid" in your opinion.

HEY STRAFFO F*** you !

I think they don't plan to change the flag, not untill the 10 new countries are ready to cover the cost of it themselves.

Hi Saint,

I took the Eurostar to Brussels a couple of weekends ago. Beautiful city (the Tin Tin exhibition is great).

lol! I thought the neighbourhoods around Waterloo train station (UK) were bad, but after going through some lovely countryside, all I could see from the train when we got to Brussels was vandalised buildings and the local sewage works!

its very relative Saw.
We expected to get some money from Eu
We have chance to get some.
Eu have big big chances to get them back by many ways, for example if we will brake some strict rule.
And you can be pretty sure that our mega total fatal pro american socialist goverment will do it. Last week minister of economic admited, that right now we already broke initial agreement. And next big step beside we will make in next few weeks.

I think there will be big big storm in money flow between Eu and new countries for at least 2 years.

Most of minister deparments here didnt even prepare material, whitch will tell people how to get some money from Eu....

dont worry saw, it wont be so hot.

migration ?
I think this is very overrated problem, since most of non educated, useless people dont even speak foreigner languages, they can not move in big numbers. And people whitch are educated are wellcome.

give it time and let see how people will deal with it

*cries in a corner*

Orel, well, if we start with the 8Bn € sent to each new country for the agricultural aid... there's a start, but if I were you, I wouldn't invest it in flags

Ravs,

Glad you liked Brussels, but I think like anywhere the surroundings of the railtracks are pretty ****. (I think Stringer is still affraid to come back, you should ask him about the Beer museum, much better than the TinTin one, or so we hope...)

Saw.

As your most famous export I demand that you put a picture of Tin Tin in your avatar!

Sadly did not have a chance to drink more than a couple of beers as my wife got food poisoning and we had to cut the trip short. Not Belgian cooking, I hasten to add, but the English breakfast on Eurostar!
