Topical issues of the development of integration in EU

The article examines the current trends in the development of international integration processes. The key point in the development of the global economy is the growth of interdependence and the intensification of fierce competition among participants in the global economic system. The last decades of the existence of the European Union, which have passed since its last large-scale expansion, allow us to conclude that since 2004 the era of rapid development and unprecedented successes of European integration has ended, and a new era of its development has begun. Therefore, it seems appropriate to study the processes of market transformation, integration priorities and the results of integration adaptation of the economies of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, for which aspirations and hopes for entering the mainstream of modern civilization are associated with the European Union. The purpose of the study is to study the issues of European integration, taking into account an analytical assessment of the economic transformations taking place in the EU countries during the pandemic period. In this regard, the authors of the article explore the economic development of Poland, which is the sixth largest in the European Union. Keywords: integration, integration process, Eurasian Union, economy, export, import.
