What a surprise. (/sarcasm)
One of the most jarring sights on my most recent trip to Europe was the EU flags side-by-side with the national flag in front of city hall buildings in little French villages. The European nations have surrendered every vestige of national sovereignty (I know, no surprise where the French are concerned, but still!)
The EU flags are in front of every federal ministry and also in the German parliament. You can´t escape them. At least they´re not yet covering the coffins of soldiers with EU flags...
