Overview

In Fahnen, Flags, Drapeaux (Proceedings of the 15th International Congress of Vexillology, Zurich, 23-27 August 1993 [icv93]), there is a paper by Carole Lager entitled Le drapeau européen, histoire et symbolisme (The European flag, history and symbolism)
The paper includes a colour plate originally published by P.M.G. Lévy and P. Martin , as Un drapeau pour l'Europe (A flag for Europe) in Saisons d'Alsace, 1950, #3, showing proposals for the European flag.

The first flags showed in the plate are those of the two private European movements which existed in 1950:

• European Movement
• Paneuropa Union

The other proposals shown on the colour plate are unfortunately not discussed by C. Lager and will be presented below and in Part II without further comments.
