The aim of the paper is to present some theoretical and empirical results of the relationship between the EU environmental policy instruments and requirements and the effects in foreign trade of environmental products in some Eastern European countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
Research results confirm the pro-ecological emphasis of transition economies’ restructuring efforts, particularly when read together with the significant increase in their foreign trade in environmental goods and services.
