Abstract

With accession to the EU Slovenia will simultaneously become a member of customs union, meaning that it should abolish existing trade barriers with partner countries and that it should adapt its trade policy against third countries to the policy of the Union. As a member of the EU Slovenia is going to regulate relations with other EU-member countries by competition policy, and to regulate relations with non-member countries by trade policy. Slovenia should cede up the instruments of common commercial policy. Thus, in the future, policy of international economic relations is going to be carried out at three levels: national, European and international (e.g. WTO, OECD). Practical importance for Slovenia will be caused by loss of national sovereignity in the field of anti-dumping measures as well as concluding trade agreements, what will have a considerable effects on trade with countries in the area of former Yugoslavia.
