See also:It has became more and more common to see ships hoisting what could
be called a European civil ensign, made of the
European
Union flag with the national flag of one of the member countries in
canton.
These civil ensigns have had until now no official status and should
not replace the national civil ensign.
Such ensigns have been reported for Belgium,
France, Germany (with also an 'ensign' of a
different design), Greece, Italy, the
Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
