	Council of Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The seat of the Council of Europe is in Strasbourg on the Franco-German border.
		The Council of Europe is not to be confused with the Council of the European Union or the European Council, as it is a separate organisation and not part of the European Union.
		The Council of Europe is responsible for the notable European flag with 12 golden stars (upward pointing) arranged in a circle on a blue background since 1955, and the anthem based on the Ode to Joy in the final movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth symphony since 1972.
