ACQUIS COMMUNAUTAIRE

The acquis communautaire is a common set of rights and obligations, which covers the whole of the EU Community law including: treaties, EU legislation, the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of European Communities, statements and other resolutions. It is in constant evolution and binds the member states within the European Union. As one of the Copenhagen criteria, candidate countries must accept the acquis before joining the European Union and implement it in national law. "Accepting the acquis" means accepting the EU as it exists today.
