Flagmaster No. 081 reports that this flag was
"recently adopted for the region of West Sweden", encompassing the
counties (län) of Halland, Älvsborg, Skaraborg, Värmland and
Gothenburg and Bohus. This West Sweden region is an initiative organized by
commercial interests, with municipal participation.

The flag recently adopted by the region of West Sweden (formed by Halland, Älvsborg, Skaraborg, Värmland, and Gothenburg and Bohus).
The flag is yellow with a white Scandinavian cross fimbrated in blue, and
derives apparently from the the flag for Götaland (not to confuse with the
island of Gotland), that it is yellow with a Scandinavian cross in blue, that is
to say inside out that the national flag. The ratio is identical of the national
flag 5:8.
Jaume Ollé, 1 October 1996
