As Claus pointed out, the stars are in fact older then EU and do
stand for the whole of Europe, but however:

Okay, so the stars are out of consideration.

No matter what they really stand for: If we have to _explain_ our
logo to some people to avoid them getting upset, it is not a good
logo.

So for the moment we are left with the map of Europe and the saga
of princess Europa and the gnu ... er ... bull. IMHO there are not
many more other symbols that have a chance that _all_ Europeans can
identify with them.

Greetings,
