 Left Out: Aznar and Berlusconi Excluded from Summit | Europe | Deutsche Welle | 19.09.2003
Though the prime ministers of Spain and Italy have played down the idea that their exclusion from Saturday’s Franco-German-British summit is a snub, leading newspapers in both countries say that’s exactly what it is.
That’s all well and good, but major newspapers in Spain and Italy have complained in editorials that the exclusion of Spanish Prime Minister José Maria Aznar and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is a form of punishment from German and France for those leaders' steadfast support of U.S. President George W. Bush's hawkishness.
Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini characterized the Berlin meeting as an "informal meal," and Aznar has taken pains to point out that he will be meeting in London with Blair one day after the meeting and that he has discussed the Iraq resolution with both Chirac and Berlusconi.

...The cars of the [regional] ministers (Spanish consejeros, Catalan consellers) of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia), in the official acts, carry a small flag with a white field and the seal of the Generalitat in the center which serves for their identification as authorities.
So the Catalan councillors (regional ministers) do use a car flag which has a white field with the seal (not coat-of-arms) of the Catalan goverment, but the flag "is non existant"...
