Hi,

I support ginger’s point of view here. I think that providing the link to
the authority itself maybe a better choice, if only to avoid an outdated
info.

Unless someone can find a better authoritative source, I’d go with the link
she has suggested:
http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/borders-and-visas/schengen/index_en.htm

Wikipedia is always available to anyone who wishes to read more about a
subject.

Again, this is of course not for 2015... or things have change really fast!
:-)

Louis
