Analiza zmian podobieństwa struktur handlu zagranicznego nowych krajów członkowskich Unii Europejskiej w latach 2004–2015 – w kierunku dalszej konwergencji na jednolitym rynku
Changes in the Foreign Trade Structure of the New Member States (EU-10) Between 2004–2015 – an Ongoing Convergence on the Single EU Ropean Market

Summary/Abstract: This analysis is an attempt to clarify whether foreign trade structural changes in consecutive years between 2004–2015 prove the execution of – expected in theory – convergence process on the Single European Market (SEM) and moreover, if – after 2004 and 2007 EU enlargements – the markets of the EU-10 and EU-15 countries are treated by the importers and exporters, from the EU-15 and EU-10, increasingly as a single market. The results and conclusions confirm the trend of increasing similarities in the analyzed trade structures of the Member States (EU-10 and EU-15) in their corresponding structures of trade between European partners. Especially importers contribute significantly to this trade convergence by building up stable, strategic trade relations, that in relation to third parties constitute much stronger single European market.
