Talk:Acquis communautaire

English pronunciation
The "English pronunciation" given for this term - is this genuine? Sourced?? Surely most English people would (attempt to) pronounce it the French way? --Kotniski (talk) 06:55, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * They probably do, just badly. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 12:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for the source. (I still don't believe it, though.)--Kotniski (talk) 12:18, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

The acquis
Of course we refer to the acquis in the article without constantly invoking the EU or communautaire adjective, but this is just a perfectly normally element of English. In the same way, having established that the organisation is called the European Union in a relevant article, we may proceed to refer to it as the Union without the European qualifier. But we don't begin the lead of the European Union article by giving Union as an alternative name for the EU.

I think you're highly unlikely to find a reliable secondary source that calls the body of EU law, "the acquis", without first referring to it as either the acquis communautaire or the EU acquis. — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 12:29, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, in EU documents, where people know that the context is the EU (like this one), I think "the acquis" is quite normal.--Kotniski (talk) 12:53, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * And indeed the dictionary entry given as a source for the pronunciation also mentions that it's often shortened to acquis.--Kotniski (talk) 12:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's not such a good source after all -:) But just in an encyclopedic context how can be say that acquis communautaire can be shortened to acquis, and then go on in the same article to describe how the term acquis has been applied to and used by other bodies like the Council of Europe, the WTO, the OSCE, and the OECD? — Blue-Haired Lawyer t 13:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because EU acquis can be shortened to acquis, doesn't mean that acquis has exclusively that meaning.--Kotniski (talk) 16:18, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

New name
This article should be moved to Union acquis since this name is used after the Lisbon Treaty entered into force. --Glentamara (talk) 20:05, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Acquis and Brexit
I'd think that this article should discuss (or at least mention) the issues surrounding the acquis in the context of Brexit, in particular what the proposed "Great Repeal Bill" aims to do with the acquis and the technical and political challenges this project / approach faces. Unfortunately I can't do it, as it requires UK law expertise and familiarity with the UK internal discussions.Chilrreh (talk) 09:49, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
