Acquis Communitaire

Acquis communitaire in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, acquis communitaire is: all legislation adopted under the treaties establishing the European Communities, including regulations, directives, decisions, recommendations and opinions. Title I of the Treaty of Maastricht sets maintaining and building the acquis communitaire as one of the objectives of the European Union. When a country accedes to the European Union, its national legislation needs to be harmonized with the acquis communitaire. This can mean revising hundreds of parliamentary acts. See also enlargement and European Community legislation.[1]
