Flag of EFTA

Right across from several European Union buildings in Brussels is one of the secretariats of EFTA, the European Free Trade Association, which still exists, and is nowadays composed of just four member states : Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The flags of these four nations, and the EFTA flag adorn this building.

I have an atlas published in 1988 which has the logotype of EFTA. The logotype has the initials EFTA inside a ring of six 2:3 flags. These are (clockwise and starting from top): Norway; Sweden; Switzerland; Austria; Finland and Iceland.
