Shcherbata N. Z. The development of the European Union external economic policy in free trade zones. - Manuscript.

The thesis for defending of the candidate of economic sciences academic degree. Specialty 08.00.02 - World Economy and International Economic Relations. - The Institute of International Relations of Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University, Kyiv, 2010.

The thesis discloses the development of the European Union external economic policy in free trade zones. The evolution of free trade economy conceptions in a world economy is examined. The author characterizes pre-conditions and effects of barriers removal in international trade.

The European Union has recently shifted to a trade policy that envisages a greater use of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). In particular the EU is working on a number of new FTA initiatives. Policy statements also reiterate the EU's commitment to multilateralism in trade and to the completion of the stalled Doha Development Agenda.

The thesis considers the background to the shift towards a more active use of FTAs, the motivations and forces that have brought about the shift in policy, and the likely EU objectives with regard to the content of the FTAs.

The author explores the complex structures of recent FTAs between the EU and other countries, surveys the main factors determining their economic effects. Limitations of product coverage substantially reduce the potential benefits of the agreements compared to full bilateral free trade, while only the Mexico and Chile agreements have trade related commitments which are wider and deeper than the preferential reduction in tariffs.

The thesis provides the mechanism of free trade zones functioning. The free movement of goods and services, capital, workers and intellectual property rights and with countries-partners are analysed.

The principles of free trade zones between the European Union and Ukraine are provides. A free trade agreement would increase the range of obligations of Ukraine, in areas such as competition policy, state aids, government procurement, customs procedures and technical standards, placing more emphasis on the need to increase the capacity for effective implementation of rules and regulations in Ukraine. A realistic prospect that a successful intensification of the reform process would culminate in a free trade accord with the EU would enhance the credibility of such a programme and contribute to its effectiveness by sending an important signal to investors and traders. The inclusion of agriculture in the provisions of a free trade agreement will be important to Ukraine. The modelling work undertaken in this project suggests that trade in agricultural products could increase by as much as 50 per cent, compared with a possible increase of 10 per cent in trade in manufactures. The extent to which agricultural exports to the EU will actually increase will depend upon the degree of reform of the agricultural sector in Ukraine and in particular the extent of effective transfer of land into private ownership. Even if large proportionate increases in exports of agricultural products from Ukraine to the EU materialise they would not cause any significant disruption to the EU market.

The changes in trade in manufactures between the EU and Ukraine that a free trade agreement will stimulate are unlikely to have a substantial impact upon trade with other countries. Tariffs are generally low; with the average tariff on industrial products in Ukraine (after WTO accession) facing EU exporters less than 6 per cent, and the average tariff in the EU for Ukrainian exports less than 5 per cent. In addition, a large proportion of imports in both partners already come from duty free sources. зона вільний торгівля тариф
