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.

Also reconfirm their determination to take the necessary steps for harmonizing the national legislation with the acquis communautaire and preparing the economies in order to meet the objectives of the EU newly proposed Growth and Jobs Strategy.

Unlike the EU accession candidates of the 1990 s, the states of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus have little incentive or capacity to adopt the Union s body of law, the acquis communautaire, and move up the value chain.

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. However, all this now seems to have a serious chance of succeeding.

It includes at least some elements of approximation of the EU acquis and entails elements of structural reform.

And what about the acquis communautaire, the body of law that enshrines member states obligations not just in terms of economic policies, but also in terms of democracy, the rule of law, and fundamental human rights? The intent of the acquis is not simply to make Europe more prosperous, but to make it more civilized.

(e) Preparing national economies for integration into larger entities (for countries seeking admission into the European Union, accession to the acquis communautaire is a prerequisite, which entails subscribing to certain basic governance and public service values)

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

For our part, we remain committed to a bizonal, bicommunal federal Cyprus in line with what we consider to be the pillars of the survival of this model of settlement the high level agreements, United Nations resolutions, international law and the acquis communautaire.

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.

Many of the agreed objectives need to be supported by financial and technical assistance to drive forward important reforms and to underpin, where desired, efforts towards approximation to the EU acquis (the European legal and normative framework).

We also visualize that with Cyprus's membership of the European Union taking solid root, a settlement would encompass an integration of the currently occupied area to the characteristics of a European society and the standards of the acquis communautaire in full harmony with the rest of the island, and leading to a process of osmosis there.

The draft convention was an excellent document, which would provide added value to the existing sectoral conventions by preserving their acquis .
