It should be noted that Ukraine's trade and economic cooperation with the EU provides an opportunity to carry out economic integration and systematic measures to reform the national economy within international cooperation. The establishment and functioning of the Free Trade Area is primarily concerned with exporters of Ukrainian products, since this will enable the rational implementation of trade and economic activities on the domestic market in the future.
