We know that Bonino has stars in her eyes, but she was furious when the stars were removed from the logo for her new campaign to promote the consumption of fish.

Inquiries revealed that the change had been ordered because the 12 stars did not conform with regulations for their layout. Nonsense, fumed Bonino, pointing out the backdrop in the Commission press room, were there are three yellow stars emblazoned across a blue background. She made it clear that if she could not have her stars back, there would be no promotion. The stars are back, has you might have expected.
