Summary/Abstract: This year there has been exactly 10 years since the countries of Central Eastern Europe (CEE) joined the European Union. This anniversary is a good opportunity to analyze whether or not they have benefited from the European integration, if it has improved their economic development and therefore the quality of life for their inhabitants. In this paper we present some results of the analysis of the convergence process for the CEE countries in the period of 2003-2013 based on the available statistical data. In order to achieve the goal we have used selected well-known methods of multivariate statistical analysis.
