Abstract

About 2/3 of the EU trade is the intra-EU trade, but the extra-EU trade pro­vides additional demand for the European products and is a source of necessary supplies. It is especially important for some products and services. Despite a de­creasing trend, the US continues to be an important trade partner for the EU. But prospects for transatlantic integration turned into rise of protectionism, which wor­ries the EU politicians. In the paper we assess the fiscal and protectionist role of tariffs for the EU-US bilateral trade and the determinants of the US imports.
