What is the schengen area and which countries participate?
The "Schengen Area" is the name for the countries which have joined the Schengen agreement. These countries have abolished border controls (Passport controls) between them.
Most are also EU members, which have abolished customs controls between them. This means there is no border control at all, just a sign by the side of the road when you cross from one country to another.
These countries are sometimes referred to as "Schengen" for short, as in the "Schengen visa".
The full list of the 26 current (as of 2012) members of the Schengen area is:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

If you are travelling between two EU countries and only one is in Schengen (e.g. UK to France) there are passport checks but no customs.
If you are travelling between two Schengen countries where one is not in the EU (e.g. Sweden to Norway), there are customs checks but no passport checks.

What is the CMYK breakdown of the European Union Flag?
The emblem is in the following colours:
PANTONE REFLEX BLUE for the surface of the rectangle; PANTONE YELLOW for the stars.
The international PANTONE range is very widely available and easily accessible even for non-professionals.
Four-colour process
If the four-colour process is used, it is not possible to use the two standard colours. It is therefore necessary to recreate them by using the four colours of the four-colour process. The PANTONE YELLOW is obtained by using 100% "Process Yellow". By mixing 100% "Process Cyan" and 80% "Process Magenta" one can get a colour very similar to the PANTONE REFLEX BLUE.
Internet
PANTONE REFLEX BLUE corresponds in the web-palette colour RGB:0/51/153 (hexadecimal: 003399) and PANTONE YELLOW corresponds in the web-palette colour RGB:255/204/0 (hexadecimal: FFCC00).
