Cough, cough, Sky. Don't say I haven't warned you lot in advance about making non-substantial claims. It is true that Europe Day is linked to Bert Schuman and his declaration and so more to the EU than to the Council of Europe, but the flag was used by the later a good 30 years before the former decided to do so. In any case I do agree that there are many things that still need to be said and agreed upon concerning the EU, not all of the pleasant, at least for our political leaders and it the end, for ourselves.
