The best symbol for Europe *is* the ring of 12 stars, which is used in the flag adopted by both the European Union and the Council of Europe, of which all 41 European states are a member.
No it isn't.
What "isn't"?
The flag it not the best symbol for Europe.

I thought we had this discussion already, and there will be no end to it so it seems ...
It would probably be more productive for the people who want something with stars to present logos with stars, and for the one's 'oposing' to present other logos (using other symbols to represent Europe perhaps). The people making the decision will have more options, we have more fun.
With stars: (house between stars (8 for a change))

... rather than being misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the `Star Spangled Banner', the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Sorry, but that image is terrifyingly reminiscent of the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy... except possibly for the piano.
