Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present the impact of EU preferential agreements on Polish and selected Member States trade exchange. The EU preferential agreements compared to main states participating in global trade were reviewed at the beginning. Afterwards the influence of these regulations on EU export and import was included in the paper. The empirical research based on statistical data on Polish, Czech, Austrian and Swedish export and import with non-member countries that signed the preferential agreements was presented in the paper. The study cove¬red the period 2007–2013 and included trade flows with developed and developing countries. Moreover the goods were divided intotwo groups: primary and manufactured products. The EU regional trade agreements being currently under negotiations were considered in the paper as well. The countries which concluded preferential agreements have rather low share in Polish export and import comparing to Austrian and Swedish foreign trade.
