Abstract

The economic integration process is a current widely spared process in the world economy. The necessity of collaboration between countries on economic, politic and social plans is being implemented by nations through a raising number of commercial agreements for example during the last decades. The commercial dimension represents interest because of the high importance it has in the interaction process. This paper is structured in two main parts, on first side are outlined the main features of the economic integration process, linked to main stages or its global scale; and secondly we analyzed the impact of this process on trade. The two main influences are linked especially to “trade creation” and “trade diversion” effects, which can occur after the signature of a trade agreement. These changes show the key aspects of trade regionalization, which means the changes in commercial partners, quantity or quality of traded products, modifications in production process and so on.
