Porozumienia handlowe UE z partnerami Indo-Pacyfiku w świetle zapisów unijnej strategii na rzecz współpracy w regionie

EU trade agreements with Indo-Pacific partners in the light of the provisions of the EU strategy for cooperation in the region

The article contains considerations on the regional trade agreements (RTAs) negotiated and concluded by the EU with its Indo-Pacific partners. The agreements were characterized in the context of the provisions of the strategy adopted in 2021 for this region, the aim of which is to increase the EU’s involvement in the Indo-Pacific, also by strengthening and deepening trade relations through RTAs. The analysis presented in the study showed that, in view of the huge potential and growing importance of this area in the global economy, these relations are of key importance for the EU’s economic interests, and the trade agreements negotiated, concluded and enforced constitute an important tool for implementing the Indo-Pacific strategy and pave the way towards strengthening the position of the EU there.

W artykule zawarto rozważania na temat regionalnych porozumień handlowych (RTAs) negocjowanych i zawieranych przez UE z partnerami z Indo-Pacyfiku. Scharakteryzowano je w kontekście zapisów strategii przyjętej w 2021 r. wobec tego regionu, której celem jest zwiększenie unijnego zaangażowania w Indo-Pacyfiku, między innymi także poprzez wzmacnianie i pogłębianie stosunków handlowych w drodze RTAs. Przedstawiona w opracowaniu analiza pokazała, że wobec ogromnego potencjału i rosnącego znaczenia tego obszaru w gospodarce światowej, relacje te mają kluczowe znaczenie dla interesów gospodarczych UE, a negocjowane, zawierane i egzekwowane porozumienia handlowe stanowią ważne narzędzie realizacji strategii wobec Indo- -Pacyfiku i torują drogę w kierunku umacniania tam pozycji UE.
