The most important changes in the dynamics of foreign trade turnover of the European Union, as the leading collective subject of modern international trade, are considered for the first time during the first two decades of the XXI century. The shifts in the positions of the European Union in the system of global commodity exchange in the context of the changing numerical composition of the grouping are shown. The trends in the geographical structure of the EU’s export-import activities outside the bloc, including foreign trade relations with the Russian Federation, are analyzed. The main changes in the commodity composition of export and import of products outside of this integration association are revealed. The conclusions are drawn that, despite the large-scale challenges and crises that have manifested themselves over the twenty-year period, the European Union has managed to maintain a leading position in global trade thanks to its wellthought-out and flexible foreign trade policy. The methodology of comparative and statistical analysis is used on the basis of the latest statistical materials, a number of official and numerous calculated author’s data introduced into Russian scientific circulation for the first time.
