At the current stage of development Ukrainian State is highly integrated into the international
economy and has international trade relations with more than 200 countries of the world. At present time the
European Union is one of the most important trading partners of our country.
This article presents the results of international trade activity of Ukraine with the EU countries. Trade relations
with European Union are analyzed within the context of long term consequences of the world economic and
financial crisis, which caused significant changes in the development of economic cooperation between Ukraine
and EU. The article characterizes peculiarities of this cooperation during the active phase of the world
economic crisis and in the post-crisis period.
The article provides a detailed analysis of the volume of trade between Ukraine and its main trading partners
within EU, i.e. Germany, Poland, Italy, Hungary. It contains data, which characterizes peculiarities of the
commodity structure of exports and imports. It also proves existence of asymmetry in trade relations between
Ukraine and EU.

of Ukraine by calculating relevant trade conformity indices. Calculation results show high level of international
trade conformity between Ukrainian exports and EU imports. However, the index value obtained from the
