Algeriets utträde ur Europeiska gemenskaperna
Algeriets utträde ur Europeiska gemenskaperna ägde rum i juli 1962 i samband med att Algeriet blev ett självständigt land. Dessförinnan hade Algeriet varit en integrerad del av Frankrike och således en del av Europeiska gemenskaperna. Detta i motsats till övriga franska kolonier som blev självständiga under andra halvan av 1900-talet. Algeriet var det första territoriet att lämna Europeiska gemenskaperna.[1]

Flag of Europe.svg
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 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.
