It was grounded on the base of statistic materials that the main trade partners in European Union according to the results of last years are: Germany, Poland, Italy. But can be seen the optionality of our country in the system of the world economic connections because of the import dependence on the external supplies, as the part of export in the structure of GDP in 2014 reached 47 %, import-55 %. The experience of the country that already passed the stage of integration changes was analyzed, but as we can see on practice it is almost impossible to find the common features of reforms because both Poland and Greece move economy by their own vectors and Ukraine must pay attention to this fact.
