De B.U.B. heeft zijn vlag nooit gedeponeerd of willen deponeren.
Voor het gebruik geldt dit:
Protection of the flag
Quoting
the official website of the European Union:
Use by third parties
The European emblem may be used only if : - there is no likelihood of the user of the emblem being confused with the European Community or the Council of Europe;
- the emblem is not used in connection with objectives or activities which are incompatible with the aims and principles of the European Community or of the Council of Europe.
Permission to use the European emblem does not confer on those to whom it is granted any right of exclusive use, nor does it allow them to appropriate the emblem or any similar trademark or logo, either by registration or any other means.
Each case will be examined individually to ascertain whether it satisfies the criteria set out above. This will be unlikely in a commercial context if the European emblem is used in conjunction with a company's own logo, name or trade mark.

Pro-Europees en voldoende verschillend gebruik (door toevoeging van "B.U.B." in de Belgische kleuren en "Belgische Unie Union belge") lijkt ons dan ook geen verkeerd gebruik. Bovendien is ons gebruik niet commercieel, maar politiek. Wij voelen ons gehecht aan de E.U. en België.
