The European Union is regarded as the most successful
economic integration project in the history of the global economy. In
the 1950s, the first three integration groupings in Western Europe
were founded. Integration developed gradually from customs union
through common market to economic and monetary union.
Simultaneously, the number of member states increased from six to
twenty-eight, with the most recent enlargement being in 2013 with
the accession of Croatia. The number of countries interested in
joining the EU has grown. The European Union is one of the three
most important economic centers in the world. Prior to 2019, it was
the largest exporter and second-largest importer of goods in the
world. In 2020, it ranked second in global exports and third in global
imports of goods (more detailed data are in Annex 1). In the long
term, the European Union has been the global leader in the trade in
services (more detailed data are in Annex 2). Until 2019, it was one
of the world's top three providers and recipients of foreign direct
investment (more detailed data are in Annex 3). In terms of global
GDP share, the EU has traditionally ranked second worldwide (more
detailed data is in the Annex 4).
