🇪🇺 “May the colours of Europe fly and may this blue and gold flag be the symbol of hope, constantly nourished by our ideals.” On this day, 37 years ago, the EU flag was raised for the first time in front of the Berlaymont building – our headquarters in Brussels. The then Commission’s President, Jacques Delors, led the ceremony to make its adoption official to the sound of the European Anthem. Over the years, the EU flag has become the most recognisable symbol of a European identity. 📹 Europea
