Acquis Communautaire
Dictionary of EU terms - A, B, C, D 17th March 2009
Acquis Communautaire - is a French expression which basically means “the EU as it is” and implies rights and obligations of countries members of the EU. "Acquis" consists of all the contracts and laws of the Union, declarations, resolutions, international agreements on issues of the EU, and verdicts of the European Court. It also consists of the actions undertaken by the countries members in the area of jurisdiction, internal affairs, and joint foreign and security policies. "Accepting the acquis" actually means accepting the EU as it is. In order to join the Union, countries candidates must accept "acquis" and make it as part of their national legislation. Members of the Union must in their national legislation prescribe the similar obligations for their citizens, in order for all countries members to have prescribed the minimum obligation in each region in which the Union has legislative competencies.
