Summary: During the research period, dramatic political and economic changes were occurring in Europe. Amongst other things, this included the fall of communist socio-political structures, and the establishment of Croatia as a fully recognized member of the international community. Thus, Croatia could communicate internationally and establish commercial ties with other countries in Croatia's interests. For Croatia, economic cooperation with other countries, especially those of the European Union, is of great importance. The EU represents the greatest concentration of trade and other commercial relations for Croatia. The research is aimed at analyzing integrational processes in Europe, and their impact on the Croatian economy. The restructuring of the European Community into the European Union (forming a single European trading market) is researched separately. This research has shown that the Croatian economy is faced with a significant challenge in restructuring itself to meet the requirements of the modern marketplace, and simultaneously meeting the many requirements of Western European trading partners.

Keywords: European Community (Union), European Free Trade Association, European Economic Area, Agricultural Policy of EC, ACP countries, White Paper, European Investment Bank, European Currency Unit, European Monetary System, European Council, GATT, Single European Act, Mediterian Policy of EC, institutions of EC, OECD, Paris Charter for New Europe, world market, theories of integration, VAT taxes.

Research goals: The folowing goals were set for the project: (1) To systematically analyze economical / integrational changes occuring in Western Europe; (2) to project possible changes up until the end of the century, while accepting the projected roles of individual groups; (3) to reach conclusions on factors affecting Croatian economic cooperation with Western European countries and the internal organization of the Croatian economy. As stated, the first objective has been met successfully, while research in ongoing towards the second and third objectives.
