Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present results of the economic analysis related to competitive advantage of Poland as the New Member of the EU in the European Internal Market in comparison to other Central and Eastern European New Members of the EU: Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Major success following accession to the European Union expressed as the achievement of an indicator level of RCA>1 for technology–intensive goods based on implemented product and process innovations, which is the result of both incurred investment outlay, including companies with the participation of foreign capital, and the awarding to Poland of structural funds from the European Union intended for the improvement of the competitiveness and innovativeness of companies.
