The Belgian civil flag (used on land) and ensign (used at sea) is like the national flag, but in proportions of 2:3.

Belgian "European civil ensign" - Images by Ivan Sache, 29 July 1999

Belgian pleasure boats often hoist the "European civil ensign", made of the European Union flag with the Belgian civil ensign in canton, with a white fimbriation.
The ring of stars is sometimes centered on the whole field, and sometimes centered on the main field (excluding the canton), with a different aesthetical result.
