The evolution of European Union Preferential Trade Agreements
Streszczenie
Changes which have taken place in recent years in the foreign trade policy of the European
Union are quite important and in particular include its attitude towards preferential
trade agreements (PTAs). Although the EU’s trade policy history shows that
PTAs have been used in the past, only in recent years has their importance increased.
The Union is now linked to about 50 different trade liberalizing agreements. With the
change of motives for undertaking bilateral negotiations, the spatial extent has also
changed. Preferential trade agreements have become one of the primary means of creating
the modern foreign trade policy of the European Union.
