Show answer and explanation
✓ De la Unión Europea
The blue flag with twelve yellow stars in a circle is the flag of the European Union. The stars do not represent the number of countries: they are a symbol of unity and perfection, and there are always twelve. Spain has belonged to the European Union since 1986. That is why you will see this flag next to the Spanish one in many public buildings. Trick: a circle of stars on a blue background equals Europe.
