EØS
EØS eller Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde er et frihandelssamarbejde i Europa. EØS-aftalen blev underskrevet i maj 1992 mellem de daværende 12 medlemsstater af EF og de daværende seks EFTA-medlemsstater: Finland, Island, Norge, Schweiz, Sverige og Østrig. Efter en folkeafstemning i december 1992, der resulterede i et nej, ratificerede Schweiz ikke aftalen. Da aftalen trådte i kraft i begyndelsen af 1994, var der derfor 17 deltagerlande.
Siden da er tre af de oprindelige EFTA-lande, Østrig, Finland og Sverige, blevet fuldgyldige medlemmer af EU, mens Liechtenstein i maj 1995 tiltrådte EØS. Liechtenstein var blevet medlem af EFTA i 1991. Aftalen gælder derfor nu de 27 EU-medlemsstater og tre EFTA-lande, men ikke Schweiz, som dog stadig er medlem af EFTA. Da Storbritannien d. 31. januar 2020 ikke længere var en del af EU-samarbejdet, indebar det også, at Storbritannien forlod Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde, og i april 2021 indgik Storbritannien og EU en bilateral handelsaftale.

The Flag of Europe is the flag and emblem of the European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE). It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. It was created in 1955 by the CoE and adopted by the EU, then the European Communities, in the 1980s.
The CoE and EU are distinct in membership and nature. The CoE is a 47-member international organisation dealing with human rights and rule of law, while the EU is a quasi-federal union of 27 states focused on economic integration and political cooperation. Today, the flag is mostly associated with the latter.
It was the intention of the CoE that the flag should come to represent Europe as a whole, and since its adoption the membership of the CoE covers nearly the entire continent. This is why the EU adopted the same flag. The flag has been used to represent Europe in sporting events and as a pro-democracy banner outside the Union.Forfatter/Opretter: Danlaycock, Licens: CC BY-SA 2.5
