Quality of Service Indicators and Regulatory
Reporting Requirements
  • Regulatory requirements for quality of service
    reporting vary widely from country to country.
  • Examples
  • Canada detailed quarterly reporting (16
    criteria) direct to CRTC (Canadian Radio and
    Telecommunications Commission)
  • UK bi-annual reporting to independent agency
    endorsed by OFTEL
  • Switzerland independent market surveys
    commissioned by BAKOM/OFCOM on an ad hoc basis
  • Singapore detailed quarterly reporting and ad
    hoc surveys conducted by the TAS
    (Telecommunications Authority of Singapore)
  • India detailed quarterly reporting to the TRAI
    (Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of
    India)

  • Reporting focus continues to be primarily on
    fixed line services, especially residential.
  • Some exceptions
  • Portugal ANACOM conducts random assessment of
    GSM operator performance
  • UK bi-annual reporting includes some business
    services
  • Canada requires reporting on telecom company
    facilities provisioning for competitors
  • Singapore addresses pay phones, mobile service,
    paging and internet access in addition to
    standard fixed line services
  • India requires reporting on mobile as well as
    fixed services
  • Australia includes payphones quarterly annual

INTRODUCTION In these days of healthy
EU-scepticism and EU-realism amongst the great
British public who have a heartfelt desire not to
be subjugated by the European Union, nor adopt
its common currency, the Euro, you might ask why
create an EU flag website and replicate the
increasingly despised flag at all? The answer
must lie in the fact that along with the many
other deceptions perpetrated upon the British
electorate over the past 30 years, the very
symbol of the EU is itself a deception. But
firstly, let us look at the official description
- and some unofficial ones! OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION
So, the 12 stars represent the union of the
peoples of Europe under an alleged symbol of
perfection and entirety! Later, when the
deception is exposed, we will see that this has a
double meaning. SOME UNOFFICIAL DESCRIPTIONS -
Further Suggestions Welcome!
A COMMON MISUNDERSTANDING Most people are under
the impression that the 12 EU stars represented
the 12 nations of the European Community/Union
(EC/EU) as it had between 1986 and 1996 12 stars
12 states. This misunderstanding has even been
reflected in Britain's coinage.
The misunderstanding also no doubt arose from the
widespread awareness that each star on the US
"Stars and Stripes" represents one of the United
States of America. It is believed that these
symbols were derived from George Washington's
ancestral coat of arms in Britain, thus retaining
a link with the mother-country.
Those who know the history of the US flag will
recall that one of the earliest designs, the
so-called Betsy Ross version, had a circle of 13
stars and 13 stripes, each representing the
original 13 British-American colonies.
The similarity to the EU flag is so striking that
it is no wonder that some folks are confused.
Some are even under the impression that the EU
flag now has 15 stars, on the basis that the
number of EU states has been 15 since 1996.
HOW HAVE WE BEEN FOOLED ? A SHORT HISTORY For our
answers we have to return to the original
creation of the European Council's flag in 1955
and the following chronology
We were all fooled then, by the coincidental and
apparent equivalence of 12 stars and 12 states
during the 10 years following the flag's adoption
by the EC in 1986, the analogy with the US flag
and to some extent the Royal Mint's 50p coins.
It is only within the last few years since the
last 3 members joined the EU that folks have
started asking, "Why not 15 stars? "Why forever
12?"
WHY "FOREVER 12" ? There are a number of
theories as to why the number 12 was chosen and
why this could be a symbol of "perfection and
entirety".
In Biblical numerology the number 7 is the number
of Divine Perfection, whilst 12 can be derived
from its constituent numbers
The Book of Revelation in the Bible speaks of 12
x 12000 144,000 as a symbol of the complete
number of people who will go to heaven - not a
literal number as some sects have suggested - and
links to the 12 Patriarchs of the Old Testament
and the 12 Apostles in the New Testament. We will
see later that the Biblical symbolism of 12 stars
may well indeed represent Old Testament Israel
and New Testament Church, but that this is not
the EU's intent. All this sounds pretty good, so
why worry about the EU Flag, and why waste time
creating this web site? Whether you like the EU
or not, surely the ideals and aspirations of a
peaceful united Europe behind the official
explanation are OK? If the EU Flag represents
Europe's common Judaeo-Christian heritage, surely
that is a good thing? But, as I said at the
beginning, there is a double meaning here, and so
at last my dear readers, the moment you have been
waiting for.
THE DECEPTION
The EU flag's symbolism is actually based on the
Roman Church's interpretation that the symbolic
"woman" in the verse above is the Virgin Mary.
This interpretation is reflected in that Church's
statues and images of Mary, but not as a symbol
of Israel or the Christian Church. Within the
Roman Church's doctrines, the Virgin Mary is also
a symbol of "perfection and entirety" and so we
see at last the hidden double meaning. When the
Council of Europe first adopted the flag in 1955,
it is believed that it chose from a number of
designs by a Strasbourg artist, Arsene Heitz, a
devotee of the Virgin Mary. One of these designs
was inspired by the above verse, based on this
alleged imagery of the Virgin Mary, with her
supposed crown of 12 stars and traditional blue
mantle represented by the EU flag's background.
Council of Europe Secretary-General, Leon
Marchal, another supreme devotee of the Virgin
Mary, is reported to have been the one who
suggested the adoption of the 12 star flag design
for this very reason. Jacques Delors, former
President of the European Commission, and a
devout member of the Roman Church reportedly used
his position vigourously to promote the EU symbol
in more recent years. The design was adopted on
25 October 1955 and on 11 December 1955 the
Council of Europe stained glass window, which
incorporates the symbolism, was unveiled in
Strasbourg cathedral. This event "coinciding"
with the Roman Church's Feast of the Immaculate
Conception of the Virgin Mary. Marchal is
reported to have said at the time
Again, you may be thinking well what is wrong
with that? especially if you happen to be an
EU-phile member of the Roman Church. This may be
all very well for those EU countries where the
Roman tradition predominates. However, in Britain
and those countries where the Reformed Biblical
tradition survived the Roman Church's bloody
attempts to stamp it out, the Marian doctrines of
that Church are at best an unfortunate but
contentious barrier to unity and at worst,
blasphemous and idolatrous. For EU-realist
members of the Roman Church, particularly in
Britain, the use of what they regard as a sacred
symbol for the EU-Superstate might also be deemed
a misuse and a deceit that might lead Catholics
to believe the EU is a Marian and so a basically
Christian institution. In these days of
reconciliation Christians tend to "agree to
disagree" on the things that divide us and
concentrate on the things that unite us. So, if
the Roman Church wishes to venerate Mary as some
kind of 4th Century Christianisation of the Roman
"goddess" Venus, they are free to do so whilst
those who beg to differ, ask too for freedom of
conscience in such matters. For Muslims,
"worship" of Mary (or anything besides "Allah")
is the worst of all sins and is known as"shirk"
in Islam. People of goodwill in both Reformed and
Roman traditions of the Church, and those of
other religious convictions or none, should feel
uneasy about having a sectarian symbol
deceptively imposed upon Britain, where only a
minority of the population claim to allegiance to
the Roman Church.
For those readers with an interest in the
religious issues, a Study of Mary to explain the
contention and to demonstrate the Reformed view
that the "woman" of Revelation 121 is really a
symbol of Israel and/or the Christian Church, and
not the Virgin Mary at all, see beneath the Links
section at the bottom of this page.
BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE? In Britain much church
art, especially items which were deemed to be
idols or idolatrous symbols, were destroyed at
the Reformation over 450 years ago, including the
idolatrous Marian Shrine at Walsingham in
Norfolk, and later during the Puritan era 350
years ago. Given this "cleansing" one may be
willing to give British politicians the benefit
of the doubt and favour the "cock-up" theory
arising from genuine ignorance of the symbol,
rather than a "conspiracy" one in adopting the EU
flag. Either way the EU now seeks deceitfully to
"unite" Europe under a contentious, sectarian
religious symbol that has found its way into
every corner of our lives, including our car
number plates, driving licences and virtually
everwhere you look! On the European mainland
where the Reformation was often brutally
suppressed, the Roman Church's symbols were never
purged and the Marian symbolism of the 12 stars
remains obvious to those familiar with it
Professor Paredes reportedly also stated that
"neither the stars nor the blue of the flag are
particularly religious symbols, thus respecting
the conscience of all Europeans, regardless of
their beliefs" but the Marian connection is
further confirmed in an EU-phile European
Movement publication "Europe's Star Choice
Forever 12?" published in 1994 by Europa UK (now
out of print ISBN 0 9523677 0 X). This booklet
refers both to the "co-incidence" of the EU
flag's ratification with the Feast of the
Immaculate Conception and also, the recognition
by the Roman Church of the link to Saint
Catherine-Labore whose 1876 vision in the Rue du
Bac, Paris, saw the same symbol of a crown of 12
stars being carried around the world on a banner
representing Peace, Joy and Happiness. Arsene
Heitz is said to have drawn his inspiration from
this vision.

In spite of the evidence, some would still argue
that the Marian symbolism is merely a
co-incidence and that the EU flag was chosen as a
non-sectarian, neutral symbol that all the
peoples of Europe can identify with and accept.
Any suggestion otherwise is relegated to the
realms of fallacious conspiracy theories. But,
can this be dismissed so lightly? In case you
are still in any doubt dear reader, see again the
EU flag, this time with an image of Mary and
judge for yourselves
EUROPE DEDICATED TO "QUEEN" MARY The Roman
Church decreed in 1309 that Europe be consecrated
to Mary and placed under her patronage. The
shrine of "Our Lady of Europa" in Gibraltar was
instituted at this consecration.
The present Bishop of Rome, John Paul II, refers
to England as "Mary's Dowry" that is, hers by
right. Ever since the Reformation the Roman
Church has tried unsuccessfully to bring Britain
back into its fold and restore to Mary "her
dowry". For centuries Britons have fought off
threats of military invasion from the Spanish,
French and Germans, all predominately "Roman"
countries. And yet within the span of the last 15
years we now unwittingly display the EU's symbol
of Mary everywhere and our successive Governments
hand over our Sovereignty and Independence
without a shot being fired! We love our freedoms,
so many of which arose from Magna Carta in 1215
which guaranteed the freedom of the English
church The C16th Reformation and Queen Elizabeth
I's declaration the she would "not make windows
into men's souls" in matters of religious
conscience (unlike the Continental
Inquisitors) The English Civil War of the
1640s The 1688/89 "Glorious Revolution" and
associated Bill of Rights Our "Mother of
Parliaments" at Westminster is the model for the
greatest democracies in the free English-speaking
world. Britons of both Reformed and Roman
traditions (or none) have fought and died
alongside each other to defend these freedoms.
Perhaps the fervent desire of Gibraltar (as
mentioned above) to remain British in spite of
being predominately Catholic bears witness to the
freedoms that arose from the Reformed
tradition. By contrast, the main "Roman" nations
of Europe (not to mention Latin America) have
spawned some of the most evil militarist,
communist or fascist dictatorships over the past
100 years. This is not to say that the Roman
Church intentionally caused these things to
happen, but that its hierachical and
authoritarian form of church government tended to
create the cultural context for such regimes to
prosper. It should not surprise us then, that
the European Commission, the so-called
"Government of Europe" is completely un-elected.
Indeed, there are some who believe they can
demonstrate a direct link between Hitler's Nazi
blueprint for Europe and that of the EU. The
following books are informative in this and other
respects.
Others, such as Vladimir Bukovsky the former
Soviet dissident, see parallels between the
former Soviet Communist power structures and the
EU's "governmental" bodies such as its Commission
and its parody of a "Parliament" where the
average debate lasts 90 seconds. Extreme views
perhaps, but whatever the possible connections
with the evil Communist regimes of Eastern Europe
or Nazi version of "European Union" one parallel
with the latter that comes to mind in relation to
the EU flag is the totalitarian imposition of
yellow stars upon people and their property.
CONCLUSION It is clear that the EU Flag design
is based on the Marian imagery of the Roman
Church. As such it is an alien imposition on the
Reformed countries of Europe and
constitutionally, is not a suitable symbol to be
displayed in Britain where the Reformed Faith is
established by Law and defended by her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II under her Coronation Oath.
The Reformed countries of the then EC either did
not appreciate the symbolism when voting for it
(i.e. they were deceived) or they deliberately
colluded with the deception and chose to sell
their national and spiritual birthrights for a
"mess of EU pottage". For Catholics opposed to
the EU it is an abuse of their symbolism designed
to deceive them into believing the EU is
Christian. December 1999 articles in the "Daily
Catholic" (links below) suggest that some
American Catholics have indeed been led to
believe that the EU is part of the
re-Christianizing of Europe. On the Welcome Page
I warned that this site could be disturbing and I
have not even begun to address the economic,
political or sovereignty pros and cons of
Britain's EU membership - there are others far
better qualified to do this - see Links below. I
have only sought to demonstrate that even the EU
flag itself is one of the "cons".
WHAT CAN WE DO ? (Part 1) - VOTE ! Britain's
entry into the Euro will extend the EU's Marian
stars to all the money in your pocket - not just
the occasional 50p - and will be the final stage
in our subjugation, since political union within
an EU-Superstate will soon follow. The British
People must ensure that they vote to prevent this
happening, so whatever you do

The groups below have not sanctioned, nor would
they necessarily agree with everything contained
in this site. Similarly, a listing here does not
necessarily mean my own endorsement.
If you link to these sites now (by clicking on
the Link boxes) or if you return to the Welcome
Page for the Euro-Sceptic web ring for some of
these and many other sites, I bid you farewell.
Alternatively, link to the Study of Mary to be
found on the next page to understand better the
Biblical view of Mary and the very special role
she played in the birth and life of Jesus Christ,
and why the Roman Church's doctrines have strayed
far from what the Scriptures will allow. After
reading the editorial note, please click on the
picture of Mary at the end to link to the study.
EDITORIAL NOTES What I have written above and
on the next page is intended to stimulate debate
and awareness, but I would wish readers to note
the following 1) European Unity I am not
anti-European, only the pretence that the EU is
the same as Europe. I value the richness of our
European heritage and the diversity of fellow
European people. The peoples of Europe should be
free to have unity in diversity, respect for each
other's democracies and be able trade freely with
one another in friendship, without being forced
in to an EU superstate. 2) Christian Unity I
love my country and its Reformed Christian
heritage, but I am also happy to love, respect
and have fellowship with my brethren in the Roman
tradition, so that "speaking the truth in love we
will in all things grow up into him who is the
Head, that is Christ." (Ephesians 415). Unity
in diversity is again the watchword, although I
am deeply conscious at times of the pain of the
divisions that still lie between us. I am
grateful for so much of what is good in our
common Christian heritage and realise that we
have have much to learn from each other. I
acknowledge too that my own Anglican tradition
has its own abberations (!) including those who
misguidedly restored the Marian Shrine at
Walsingham. The purpose of this site is solely
to demonstrate that as an imperialistic and
sectarian symbol itself, the EU flag is wrong for
Britain and many other countries in the EU. I do
not intend to attack in any way those with whom I
may beg to differ on certain issues, and yet have
so much in common in other respects. Therefore, I
would not wish this site to be perceived in any
way as a sectarian or bigoted attack and would
wish to distance myself completely from such
attitudes. Neither would I wish to imply in any
way that to be a member of the Roman Church makes
a person unpatriotic to Britain - after all, some
of our greatest patriotic music, including "Land
of Hope and Glory", was composed by Sir Edward
Elgar, a devout member of that Church. Except
where the context suggests otherwise, throughout
this site I use the term "catholic" as the whole
"universal" Christian Church to which all true
Christian believers of all traditions belong,
rather than just the Roman part thereof, as I
would not want to deny my own sense of
"catholicity". In these days of seeking greater
unity between us, it is ackowledged by some that
"Roman Catholic" is perhaps a contradiction in
terms! I have also used the term "reformed"
throughout, rather than "protestant" due to the
unpleasant connotations of bigotry and
intolerance the latter unfortunately brings to
mind, although no one side is without its bigots.
Rather than "Protestant" also having a negative
connotation of protest, I prefer to own it in the
sense of "pro-testant" where "testant" is a
shortened form of "testament". ie pro-testament -
Old and New. With regard to John Paul II, I have
referred to him as "Bishop of Rome" a title that
all can accept. "Pope" comes from the Latin
"papa" meaning Father, or Holy Father to give his
fuller title. As Jesus only used the term "Holy
Father" to address God himself ( John 1711) it
seems inappropriate to use the term in respect of
a human being, however well loved and respected
he may be. I note too John Paul II's recent
pleas for forgiveness for the sins and wrongs of
the Roman Church over the centuries and would
hope that we may all respond positively, even
though many of the doctrines that caused the
conflict are still in place and in the case of
Mary, have been vigourously promoted by him.
Similarly, a recent Vatican Decree (Dominus
Iesus) in September 2000 re-affirmed the Roman
Church as "the only instrument for Salvation of
all humanity" and that churches of other
Christian traditions are "not churches in the
proper sense". This was an unfortunate decree,
particularly as no church can claim to be an
instrument of salvation, since salvation is found
in Jesus himself and no other. (Acts 412).
Christ saves us, not the church. Once we are "in
Christ" it follows that we are part of his
church, not the other way around. I also
acknowledge that, as a reaction to Rome's
attempts to re-take Britain, Catholics often
suffered cruel persecution in this country
(together with non-conformists, but for different
reasons) and that those in the Reformed
traditions should also perhaps be seeking
forgiveness.

refers both to the "co-incidence" of the EU

Immaculate Conception and also, the recognition
by the Roman Church of the link to Saint
Catherine-Labore whose 1876 vision in the Rue du
Bac, Paris, saw the same symbol of a crown of 12
stars being carried around the world on a banner
representing Peace, Joy and Happiness. Arsene
Heitz is said to have drawn his inspiration from
this vision.

In spite of the evidence, some would still argue
that the Marian symbolism is merely a
co-incidence and that the EU flag was chosen as a
non-sectarian, neutral symbol that all the
peoples of Europe can identify with and accept.
Any suggestion otherwise is relegated to the
realms of fallacious conspiracy theories. But,
can this be dismissed so lightly? In case you
are still in any doubt dear reader, see again the
EU flag, this time with an image of Mary and
judge for yourselves
EUROPE DEDICATED TO "QUEEN" MARY The Roman
Church decreed in 1309 that Europe be consecrated
to Mary and placed under her patronage. The
shrine of "Our Lady of Europa" in Gibraltar was
instituted at this consecration.
The present Bishop of Rome, John Paul II, refers
to England as "Mary's Dowry" that is, hers by
right. Ever since the Reformation the Roman
Church has tried unsuccessfully to bring Britain
back into its fold and restore to Mary "her
dowry". For centuries Britons have fought off
threats of military invasion from the Spanish,
French and Germans, all predominately "Roman"
countries. And yet within the span of the last 15
years we now unwittingly display the EU's symbol
of Mary everywhere and our successive Governments
hand over our Sovereignty and Independence
without a shot being fired! We love our freedoms,
so many of which arose from Magna Carta in 1215
which guaranteed the freedom of the English
church The C16th Reformation and Queen Elizabeth
I's declaration the she would "not make windows
into men's souls" in matters of religious
conscience (unlike the Continental
Inquisitors) The English Civil War of the
1640s The 1688/89 "Glorious Revolution" and
associated Bill of Rights Our "Mother of
Parliaments" at Westminster is the model for the
greatest democracies in the free English-speaking
world. Britons of both Reformed and Roman
traditions (or none) have fought and died
alongside each other to defend these freedoms.
Perhaps the fervent desire of Gibraltar (as
mentioned above) to remain British in spite of
being predominately Catholic bears witness to the
freedoms that arose from the Reformed
tradition. By contrast, the main "Roman" nations
of Europe (not to mention Latin America) have
spawned some of the most evil militarist,
communist or fascist dictatorships over the past
100 years. This is not to say that the Roman
Church intentionally caused these things to
happen, but that its hierachical and
authoritarian form of church government tended to
create the cultural context for such regimes to
prosper. It should not surprise us then, that
the European Commission, the so-called
"Government of Europe" is completely un-elected.
Indeed, there are some who believe they can
demonstrate a direct link between Hitler's Nazi
blueprint for Europe and that of the EU. The
following books are informative in this and other
respects.
Others, such as Vladimir Bukovsky the former
Soviet dissident, see parallels between the
former Soviet Communist power structures and the
EU's "governmental" bodies such as its Commission
and its parody of a "Parliament" where the
average debate lasts 90 seconds. Extreme views
perhaps, but whatever the possible connections
with the evil Communist regimes of Eastern Europe
or Nazi version of "European Union" one parallel
with the latter that comes to mind in relation to
the EU flag is the totalitarian imposition of
yellow stars upon people and their property.
CONCLUSION It is clear that the EU Flag design
is based on the Marian imagery of the Roman
Church. As such it is an alien imposition on the
Reformed countries of Europe and
constitutionally, is not a suitable symbol to be
displayed in Britain where the Reformed Faith is
established by Law and defended by her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II under her Coronation Oath.
The Reformed countries of the then EC either did
not appreciate the symbolism when voting for it
(i.e. they were deceived) or they deliberately
colluded with the deception and chose to sell
their national and spiritual birthrights for a
"mess of EU pottage". For Catholics opposed to
the EU it is an abuse of their symbolism designed
to deceive them into believing the EU is
Christian. December 1999 articles in the "Daily
Catholic" (links below) suggest that some
American Catholics have indeed been led to
believe that the EU is part of the
re-Christianizing of Europe. On the Welcome Page
I warned that this site could be disturbing and I
have not even begun to address the economic,
political or sovereignty pros and cons of
Britain's EU membership - there are others far
better qualified to do this - see Links below. I
have only sought to demonstrate that even the EU
flag itself is one of the "cons".
WHAT CAN WE DO ? (Part 1) - VOTE ! Britain's
entry into the Euro will extend the EU's Marian
stars to all the money in your pocket - not just
the occasional 50p - and will be the final stage
in our subjugation, since political union within
an EU-Superstate will soon follow. The British
People must ensure that they vote to prevent this
happening, so whatever you do

EDITORIAL NOTES What I have written above and
on the next page is intended to stimulate debate
and awareness, but I would wish readers to note
the following 1) European Unity I am not
anti-European, only the pretence that the EU is
the same as Europe. I value the richness of our
European heritage and the diversity of fellow
European people. The peoples of Europe should be
free to have unity in diversity, respect for each
other's democracies and be able trade freely with
one another in friendship, without being forced
in to an EU superstate. 2) Christian Unity I
love my country and its Reformed Christian
heritage, but I am also happy to love, respect
and have fellowship with my brethren in the Roman
tradition, so that "speaking the truth in love we
will in all things grow up into him who is the
Head, that is Christ." (Ephesians 415). Unity
in diversity is again the watchword, although I
am deeply conscious at times of the pain of the
divisions that still lie between us. I am
grateful for so much of what is good in our
common Christian heritage and realise that we
have have much to learn from each other. I
acknowledge too that my own Anglican tradition
has its own abberations (!) including those who
misguidedly restored the Marian Shrine at
Walsingham. The purpose of this site is solely
to demonstrate that as an imperialistic and
sectarian symbol itself, the EU flag is wrong for
Britain and many other countries in the EU. I do
not intend to attack in any way those with whom I
may beg to differ on certain issues, and yet have
so much in common in other respects. Therefore, I
would not wish this site to be perceived in any
way as a sectarian or bigoted attack and would
wish to distance myself completely from such
attitudes. Neither would I wish to imply in any
way that to be a member of the Roman Church makes
a person unpatriotic to Britain - after all, some
of our greatest patriotic music, including "Land
of Hope and Glory", was composed by Sir Edward
Elgar, a devout member of that Church. Except
where the context suggests otherwise, throughout
this site I use the term "catholic" as the whole
"universal" Christian Church to which all true
Christian believers of all traditions belong,
rather than just the Roman part thereof, as I
would not want to deny my own sense of
"catholicity". In these days of seeking greater
unity between us, it is ackowledged by some that
"Roman Catholic" is perhaps a contradiction in
terms! I have also used the term "reformed"
throughout, rather than "protestant" due to the
unpleasant connotations of bigotry and
intolerance the latter unfortunately brings to
mind, although no one side is without its bigots.
Rather than "Protestant" also having a negative
connotation of protest, I prefer to own it in the
sense of "pro-testant" where "testant" is a
shortened form of "testament". ie pro-testament -
Old and New. With regard to John Paul II, I have
referred to him as "Bishop of Rome" a title that
all can accept. "Pope" comes from the Latin
"papa" meaning Father, or Holy Father to give his
fuller title. As Jesus only used the term "Holy
Father" to address God himself ( John 1711) it
seems inappropriate to use the term in respect of
a human being, however well loved and respected
he may be. I note too John Paul II's recent
pleas for forgiveness for the sins and wrongs of
the Roman Church over the centuries and would
hope that we may all respond positively, even
though many of the doctrines that caused the
conflict are still in place and in the case of
Mary, have been vigourously promoted by him.
Similarly, a recent Vatican Decree (Dominus
Iesus) in September 2000 re-affirmed the Roman
Church as "the only instrument for Salvation of
all humanity" and that churches of other
Christian traditions are "not churches in the
proper sense". This was an unfortunate decree,
particularly as no church can claim to be an
instrument of salvation, since salvation is found
in Jesus himself and no other. (Acts 412).
Christ saves us, not the church. Once we are "in
Christ" it follows that we are part of his
church, not the other way around. I also
acknowledge that, as a reaction to Rome's
attempts to re-take Britain, Catholics often
suffered cruel persecution in this country
(together with non-conformists, but for different
reasons) and that those in the Reformed
traditions should also perhaps be seeking
forgiveness.

INTRODUCTION In these days of healthy
EU-scepticism and EU-realism amongst the great
British public who have a heartfelt desire not to
be subjugated by the European Union, nor adopt
its common currency, the Euro, you might ask why
create an EU flag website and replicate the
increasingly despised flag at all? The answer
must lie in the fact that along with the many
other deceptions perpetrated upon the British
electorate over the past 30 years, the very
symbol of the EU is itself a deception. But
firstly, let us look at the official description
- and some unofficial ones! OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION
So, the 12 stars represent the union of the
peoples of Europe under an alleged symbol of
perfection and entirety! Later, when the
deception is exposed, we will see that this has a
double meaning. SOME UNOFFICIAL DESCRIPTIONS -
Further Suggestions Welcome!
A COMMON MISUNDERSTANDING Most people are under
the impression that the 12 EU stars represented
the 12 nations of the European Community/Union
(EC/EU) as it had between 1986 and 1996 12 stars
12 states. This misunderstanding has even been
reflected in Britain's coinage.
The misunderstanding also no doubt arose from the
widespread awareness that each star on the US
"Stars and Stripes" represents one of the United
States of America. It is believed that these
symbols were derived from George Washington's
ancestral coat of arms in Britain, thus retaining
a link with the mother-country.
Those who know the history of the US flag will
recall that one of the earliest designs, the
so-called Betsy Ross version, had a circle of 13
stars and 13 stripes, each representing the
original 13 British-American colonies.
The similarity to the EU flag is so striking that
it is no wonder that some folks are confused.
Some are even under the impression that the EU
flag now has 15 stars, on the basis that the
number of EU states has been 15 since 1996.
HOW HAVE WE BEEN FOOLED ? A SHORT HISTORY For our
answers we have to return to the original
creation of the European Council's flag in 1955
and the following chronology
We were all fooled then, by the coincidental and
apparent equivalence of 12 stars and 12 states
during the 10 years following the flag's adoption
by the EC in 1986, the analogy with the US flag
and to some extent the Royal Mint's 50p coins.
It is only within the last few years since the
last 3 members joined the EU that folks have
started asking, "Why not 15 stars? "Why forever
12?"
WHY "FOREVER 12" ? There are a number of
theories as to why the number 12 was chosen and
why this could be a symbol of "perfection and
entirety".
In Biblical numerology the number 7 is the number
of Divine Perfection, whilst 12 can be derived
from its constituent numbers
The Book of Revelation in the Bible speaks of 12
x 12000 144,000 as a symbol of the complete
number of people who will go to heaven - not a
literal number as some sects have suggested - and
links to the 12 Patriarchs of the Old Testament
and the 12 Apostles in the New Testament. We will
see later that the Biblical symbolism of 12 stars
may well indeed represent Old Testament Israel
and New Testament Church, but that this is not
the EU's intent. All this sounds pretty good, so
why worry about the EU Flag, and why waste time
creating this web site? Whether you like the EU
or not, surely the ideals and aspirations of a
peaceful united Europe behind the official
explanation are OK? If the EU Flag represents
Europe's common Judaeo-Christian heritage, surely
that is a good thing? But, as I said at the
beginning, there is a double meaning here, and so
at last my dear readers, the moment you have been
waiting for.
THE DECEPTION
The EU flag's symbolism is actually based on the
Roman Church's interpretation that the symbolic
"woman" in the verse above is the Virgin Mary.
This interpretation is reflected in that Church's
statues and images of Mary, but not as a symbol
of Israel or the Christian Church. Within the
Roman Church's doctrines, the Virgin Mary is also
a symbol of "perfection and entirety" and so we
see at last the hidden double meaning. When the
Council of Europe first adopted the flag in 1955,
it is believed that it chose from a number of
designs by a Strasbourg artist, Arsene Heitz, a
devotee of the Virgin Mary. One of these designs
was inspired by the above verse, based on this
alleged imagery of the Virgin Mary, with her
supposed crown of 12 stars and traditional blue
mantle represented by the EU flag's background.
Council of Europe Secretary-General, Leon
Marchal, another supreme devotee of the Virgin
Mary, is reported to have been the one who
suggested the adoption of the 12 star flag design
for this very reason. Jacques Delors, former
President of the European Commission, and a
devout member of the Roman Church reportedly used
his position vigourously to promote the EU symbol
in more recent years. The design was adopted on
25 October 1955 and on 11 December 1955 the
Council of Europe stained glass window, which
incorporates the symbolism, was unveiled in
Strasbourg cathedral. This event "coinciding"
with the Roman Church's Feast of the Immaculate
Conception of the Virgin Mary. Marchal is
reported to have said at the time
Again, you may be thinking well what is wrong
with that? especially if you happen to be an
EU-phile member of the Roman Church. This may be
all very well for those EU countries where the
Roman tradition predominates. However, in Britain
and those countries where the Reformed Biblical
tradition survived the Roman Church's bloody
attempts to stamp it out, the Marian doctrines of
that Church are at best an unfortunate but
contentious barrier to unity and at worst,
blasphemous and idolatrous. For EU-realist
members of the Roman Church, particularly in
Britain, the use of what they regard as a sacred
symbol for the EU-Superstate might also be deemed
a misuse and a deceit that might lead Catholics
to believe the EU is a Marian and so a basically
Christian institution. In these days of
reconciliation Christians tend to "agree to
disagree" on the things that divide us and
concentrate on the things that unite us. So, if
the Roman Church wishes to venerate Mary as some
kind of 4th Century Christianisation of the Roman
"goddess" Venus, they are free to do so whilst
those who beg to differ, ask too for freedom of
conscience in such matters. For Muslims,
"worship" of Mary (or anything besides "Allah")
is the worst of all sins and is known as"shirk"
in Islam. People of goodwill in both Reformed and
Roman traditions of the Church, and those of
other religious convictions or none, should feel
uneasy about having a sectarian symbol
deceptively imposed upon Britain, where only a
minority of the population claim to allegiance to
the Roman Church.
For those readers with an interest in the
religious issues, a Study of Mary to explain the
contention and to demonstrate the Reformed view
that the "woman" of Revelation 121 is really a
symbol of Israel and/or the Christian Church, and
not the Virgin Mary at all, see beneath the Links
section at the bottom of this page.
BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE? In Britain much church
art, especially items which were deemed to be
idols or idolatrous symbols, were destroyed at
the Reformation over 450 years ago, including the
idolatrous Marian Shrine at Walsingham in
Norfolk, and later during the Puritan era 350
years ago. Given this "cleansing" one may be
willing to give British politicians the benefit
of the doubt and favour the "cock-up" theory
arising from genuine ignorance of the symbol,
rather than a "conspiracy" one in adopting the EU
flag. Either way the EU now seeks deceitfully to
"unite" Europe under a contentious, sectarian
religious symbol that has found its way into
every corner of our lives, including our car
number plates, driving licences and virtually
everwhere you look! On the European mainland
where the Reformation was often brutally
suppressed, the Roman Church's symbols were never
purged and the Marian symbolism of the 12 stars
remains obvious to those familiar with it
Professor Paredes reportedly also stated that
"neither the stars nor the blue of the flag are
particularly religious symbols, thus respecting
the conscience of all Europeans, regardless of
their beliefs" but the Marian connection is
further confirmed in an EU-phile European
Movement publication "Europe's Star Choice
Forever 12?" published in 1994 by Europa UK (now
out of print ISBN 0 9523677 0 X). This booklet
refers both to the "co-incidence" of the EU
flag's ratification with the Feast of the
Immaculate Conception and also, the recognition
by the Roman Church of the link to Saint
Catherine-Labore whose 1876 vision in the Rue du
Bac, Paris, saw the same symbol of a crown of 12

this vision.
