The USA does not need to get involved. just give Washington a notice that from 01/01/2014, no commercial flights within the Schengen area will be allowed by non EU registered aircraft.
But Ireland and the United Kingdom have not and are not required to implement Schengen while Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland (EFTA) European Free Trade Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia are part of Schengen but not part of the EU. Then you have Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania who are part of the EU but have yet to comply with Schengen. All very confusing to an American!

Schengen Area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Schengen rules were absorbed into European Union law by the Amsterdam Treaty in 1999, although the area officially includes four non-EU member states—Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland—and de facto includes three European micro-states—Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican. All but two EU member states—Ireland and the United Kingdom—are required to implement Schengen rules. With the exception of Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania, all other EU member states have already complied."
