EUROPEAN UNION chiefs are drawing up secret plans ordering member nations to incorporate the ‘ring of stars’ emblem of the Council of Europe into their flags.

Graphic artists in Brussels have even drawn up proposed designs which show the blue and gold Flag of Europe either displayed in the top left hand corner or even more brazenly in the CENTRE of the existing national flags.

The move is being pushed through prior to the UK vote on EU membership on June 23 in what is seen by critics as a cynical bid to officially cement Britain’s links to the European Union.

A high ranking Brussels-based diplomat who leaked the plans to Express.co.uk said: “The idea of incorporating the 12 stars into national flags has been around as long as the Council of Europe has existed.

“We pushed through the incorporation of the EU flag onto car registration plates in the late 90s and no-one kicked up a fuss, so, to many members this seems a logical next step.

This whole proposal is an absolute joke. It’s indicative of how insidious Brussels can be

“Some expressed concern that Britain might kick back a little, but usually it’s just a lot of huffing and puffing in your parliament then Brussels pushes through the legislation it wants.”

Critics view the move as the clearest sign yet the EU plans a full United States of Europe.

Some of the newer, smaller EU states are believed to be keen on the idea and German EU diplomats are pushing for the move.

But France and Italy are outraged and plan to fight the proposal.

Claude Boursin, spokesman for the centre-right Partie de Reddition Singe, said: “The tricoleur is a symbol of French courage in the face of adversity – our 'never surrender' spirit. It has mythic status in our country and we will never let it be tampered with.”

UKIP MEP Mike Hookem said: “This whole proposal is an absolute joke. It’s indicative of how insidious Brussels can be but seriously we'd have to be fools to fall for it.”

The European Flag consists of a circle of 12 yellow stars on an blue background. It is an official emblem of both the Council of Europe and the European Union and is termed the "Flag of Europe" or "European Flag" by both organisations.

It was first adopted in 1955 by the Council of Europe and was intended to represent the continent as a whole.
