Main Article Content

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present Poland’s position in international trade and the importance of the solutions applied in the common EU trade policy in increasing the role of Polish trade in international commercial exchange. The article discusses the factors determining the turnover of Poland’s international trade: a change in the global economy, growing protectionism of some countries, competitiveness of the Polish economy, an increase in the number of new free trade agreements concluded by the European Union, and thus by Poland, as one of the Member States. The article presents the findings of qualitative and quantitative analyses. The future of Polish trade will be conditioned by the pursuit of liberalization of the European Union’s foreign trade, the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU structures, individual labour inputs and the competitiveness of Polish foreign trade.
