EU treaties and legislation or EU regulations; or "acquis communautaires" with explanation

Hi, Lori!

This term came up in an EU text I translated a few years ago, and this is the translation suggested by someone who specialized in EU documents.

But I also had a lot of hits for "acquis communautaires" in English. Many of them had explanations in English, like the following:

"The programme of the “enlargement” of the European Union is based on
a set of rules and regulations or so called “acquis communautaires". URL:

neutral Wayne Sutton (X) : EuroDicautom gives a preference for "community patrimony" when it is not a legal document. Just as horrible but there you go!

"Treaties & Legislation" is not "Rights & duties"

There is a *major* difference between EU legislation and the rights and duties this bestows/confers on Member States. Please check!
