According to [cra1991], the European Movement now uses the EU flag.

The European Movement is a Europe-wide organization promoting European co-operation leading to the peaceful and democratic unification of Europe. It has many mainstream politicians as members, even here in the UK

A few days ago, something happened in Portugal: the portuguese delegation of the European Movement made it's first public appearance. It's president is Diogo Freitas do Amaral, a christian-democrat, ex-president of the UN General Assembly. The newscast had no information on a flag for it, but the bottom line is: the organization really exists!

Jorge Candeias, 7 December 1997

Oh yes, the European Movement exists. the Liberal Democrat MP for a neighboring constituency was its sometime UK president. The movement used to have a flag of a green "E" on white, or perhaps a white "U" on green. I think they've used the ring of stars flag for years now.

Yesterday, I found a black and white ad in the newspaper on some initiative of the portuguese branch of the EM. The interesting part is that next to the name of the movement (in english, french and portuguese) there was a flag depicted, not one of the EM flags in FOTWws, but the EU flag itself. Are they using the EU flag now?
Jorge Candeias - 1998-01-05

Yes I believe so, since not long after the EU adopted the Council of Europe flag making it in effect the undisputed pan-European flag.
