UK car numberplates.

I've observed a circle of stars on a great many UK numberplates.
What is its significance, what does it mean etc?

Hi the_mole & welcome to the forum :)

I'm just assuming here as I haven't noticed them myself, but could it refer to the European Union maybe?

Hope you enjoy it here :D

Thanks, it's bugging me:

THE EURO PLATE
Since 1st September 2001 there has been an optional provision for the display of a Euro-plate for vehicles registered in the UK. The Euro-plate is a number plate that incorporates the symbol of the European Union (a circle of 12 stars on a blue background) with the national identification letters of the member states below. This symbol is located on the far left-hand side of the number plate.
