S obzirom na otvorenost njezina gospodarstva, za Europsku uniju trgovina je od presudne važnosti. Kako bi uklonila trgovinske prepreke i ishodila jednake uvjete za svoje poslovne subjekte, Unija pregovara o sklapanju niza sporazuma o slobodnoj trgovini. Europska unija je i osnivač i jedan od ključnih članova ...

Navedeni pristup u skladu je s pravilima Svjetske trgovinske organizacije.
