Summary

Introduction

European integration processes in Ukraine significantly affect the functioning of the country's economic system. The purpose of this article is to investigate the tendencies in the bilateral complementarity of trade relations between Ukraine and the European Union. M. and Wang X. provided empirical analysis of comparative advantages and complementarity of agricultural trade between China and USA [Shuai and Wang, 2011]. Ukrainian scientists studied complementarity of trade between Ukraine and the Republic of China as an indicator of the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation V. Panchenko studied the dynamics of the complementarity index after creation of free trade zone between Ukraine and the EU [Panchenko, 2013]. A favorable business environment will be formed in Ukraine as a result of the reforming of national legislation; the removal of barriers helps to harmonize the supply and demand balance of trade; deepening of inter-state sectoral cooperation will ensure stable mutual development; stimulating scientific and technological development helps to form market competition [Fedirko, 2015].
