Again, I am sorry to be pedantic, but the number of stars on the EU flag has never had any connection to the number of EU (or EEC, or EC) states.

"Against the blue sky of the Western world, the stars represent the peoples of Europe in a circle, a symbol of unity. Their number shall be invariably set at twelve, the symbol of completeness and perfection."

Council of Europe. Paris, 7–9 December 1955.
