  "text": "Symbolic description\nAgainst a background of blue sky, twelve golden stars form a circle representing the union of the peoples of Europe. The number of stars is fixed, twelve being the symbol of perfection and unity.\nHeraldic description\nOn an azure field a circle of twelve golden mullets, their points not touching.\nGeometric description\nThe emblem has the form of a blue rectangular flag of which the fly is one and a half times the length of the hoist. 12 gold stars situated at equal intervals form an invisible circle whose centre is the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle. The radius of the circle is equal to one third of the height of the hoist. Each of the stars has five points which are situated on the circumference of an invisible circle whose radius is equal to 1/18th of the height of the hoist. All the stars are upright, i.e. with one point vertical and two points in a straight line at right angles to the mast. The circle is arranged so that the stars appear in the position of the hours on the face of a clock. Their number is invariable.\nRegulation colours\nThe emblem is in the following colours: PANTONE REFLEX BLUE for the surface of the rectangle; PANTONE YELLOW for the stars.\nFour-colour process\nIf the four-colour process is used, recreate the two standard colours by using the four colours of the four-colour process.\nPANTONE YELLOW is obtained by using 100 % ‘Process Yellow’.\nPANTONE REFLEX BLUE is obtained by mixing 100 % ‘Process Cyan’ and 80 % ‘Process Magenta’.\nInternet\nIn the web-palette PANTONE REFLEX BLUE corresponds to colour RGB:0/0/153 (hexadecimal: 000099) and PANTONE YELLOW to colour RGB:255/204/0 (hexadecimal: FFCC00).\nMonochrome reproduction process\nUsing black, outline the rectangle in black and print the stars in black on white.\nUsing blue (Reflex Blue), use 100 % with the stars reproduced in negative white.\nReproduction on a coloured background\nIf there is no alternative to a coloured background, put a white border around the rectangle, the width of the border being 1/25th of the height of the rectangle.",
