The next round of candidate countries is also preparing to adopt the acquis communautaire of EU, including institutional measures for improving integrity, transparency and accountability.

The law is in line with the EU acquis communautaire and establishes a mechanism that will allow for effective supervision of public procurement, greater accountability and better budgetary control.

Attempting to revisit major parts of the acquis communautaire (the body of EU law), and picking and choosing the bits of which the UK approves, could set a dangerous precedent.

The whole of Cyprus joined the EU in May 2004, but the acquis communautaire the body of EU law applies only to areas under direct government control, so it is suspended in those parts administered by Turkish Cypriots.

Membership talks can t help but be long and arduous, if only because adopting the acquis communautaire (the body of EU law) requires that Turkey integrate around 10,000 pages of texts into its legislation.

After all, this was how the Schengen Treaty which later became part of the acquis communitaire (the body of EU law) came into being.

We will achieve a strategic goal that we have jointly set to upgrade and politically armor the Republic of Cyprus Turkey's accession course will also continue, thus Ankara will be under continuous evaluation for the adoption and implementation of the acquis communautaire, and Cyprus will be one of the evaluators .

It seems likely that the acquis would lose much of its force.

The European Union managed to preserve the essence of its acquis diplomatique.

This program comprised a substantial part of the so called acquis sociaux (social rights) established in France during the second half of the twentieth century.

More than 3 billion was spent on financial assistance measures in 2003 2004, including the Programme d'assistance emploi, the Fonds d'aide à l'action communautaire and the Fonds québécois d'initiatives sociales.
