Brussels has fined Britain more than £150million for failing to display the EU flag on a string of projects part-funded by Europe.
Several schemes were also penalised for failing to use the flag on their letterheads.
The fines relate to £3.8billion given to the UK by the European Regional Development Fund over a seven-year period.
But don't worry the Coalition's on the case:
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles condemned the ‘over-bureaucratic rules’ surrounding ERDF money.
He said he would be pressing the European Commission to cut back on ‘needless bureaucracy’.
That's ok then.
