The article describes the current state of the world energy market from the point of view of the production and consumption of energy resources. It considers the dynamics of the contribution of the world regions to the overall energy balance. It was noted that the trends of the EU countries are generally different from the rest of the world in favor of reducing the energy load, increasing energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable resources. The author carried out an analysis of the EU energy structure in which the predominant share is assigned to "green" sources. The fundamentals and key principles of energy cooperation and its impact on the economy of the EU countries are presented. Conclusions have been drawn about the most serious obstacles that hinder the spread of renewable energy: technical, administrative, economic. Prospects for the introduction of "green" initiatives in the EU countries are outlined.

Changes in production and trends in shortages / market surpluses of butter and cheese in the world and in Poland in 2001-2017 were presented. Market surplus of butter increased in New Zealand, EU and Belarus, and decreased in Australia and Ukraine. Shortages grew in China, Mexico, Iran and Turkey, and decreased in Russia and Canada. Relatively balanced production and consumption occurred in India, Pakistan, the USA and Brazil. On the cheese market, surplus grew in: EU, USA, New Zealand, Argentina and Belarus, and decreased in Australia and Ukraine. The shortages grew in: Russia, Brazil, Mexico. In Poland, there were surpluses in butter and cheese production, which resulted in growing exports, directed mainly to EU countries. Prices of butter and cheese in EU countries and on the world market were characterized by convergence. At the beginning of the analyzed period, butter prices in the EU were 134% higher than on the world market, and cheese prices were higher by 92.6%, and in 2017 these differences were respectively 6% and 0.6%.

This paper analyses the commodity structure of Czech (CR) agrarian trade in relation to the EU countries. An emphasis is put on comparative advantages of particular aggregations from the view-point of their application on the EU internal market. This analysis is based on an evaluation of comparative advantages by means of a modified Balassa index. It is studied in two stages, for the internal EU market and the world market. The analysis results are then shown in a graph. Subsequently, the authors implement an idea arising from a BCG matrix on the results of the graphic presentation. The aim is to identify those aggregations (SITC, rev. 3) which are or have a potential to be a pillar of agri-business (ie, the “cash cows” and “stars”), and vice versa to show the aggregation which are non-prospective in the long term or problematic (ie, the “dogs” and “problem children”). As start are identified as those aggregations which are characterised by the highest growth rate of comparative advantage value. From the analysis results, changes are apparent if we compare the CR trade commodity structure in relation to the EU countries. Findings also concern the development of comparative advantages and following CR specialisation on trade with certain aggregations.

Issues of sustainability of economic development of individual countries and the world economy in general are becoming more and more relevant, financial and economic relations reveal the global dependence of the economies of all countries. The article lists the measures taken to stabilize the economy after the world economic crisis of 2007-2008, which began in the US, which subsequently initiated a protracted second wave of the euro zone crisis since 2010. The key financial and economic indicators of the EU and RF countries are indicated: GDP, Current account balance, External debt stocks, Total reserves (includes gold), Total reserves in months of imports, Net financial account, Net primary income, Net trade in goods and services, Net trade in goods, Exports of goods and services, Import of goods and services. Relative indicators were used to analyze and compare the different in the territory and number of the 29 EU countries and Russia, the boundaries and the range of their changes (min, max, max-min) were determined. A gradation is proposed for the changes in the financial and economic performance of countries, depending on the level of risk of a crisis in the financial and economic sphere. Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of changes in indicators during the crisis and in 2015-2016. Based on the analysis of financial and economic indicators that characterize the degree of independence of the country from external financial impacts, a rating of the EU and RF countries on the level of risk was composed.

The relevance of this study is tied to the fact, that more effective application of export potential represents a major step towards the integration of Latvia’s economy into a unified economic framework with other European Union countries. In addition, the lack of a generally accepted methodology for assessing export potential increases the significance of these studies from a methodological point of view. The purpose of this study is to analyse the trends in Latvian exports and assess the possibilities of increasing the volume of exports of goods to the EU countries. This study applied quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis, analysis of statistical data, methods for assessing the intensity, complementarity of trade between two countries and the potential for exporting Latvian goods to EU countries. The study identifies the countries and categories of goods where Latvian trade potentialto EU can be increased. The authors of the article propose criteria for determining possibility of increasing the export of various groups of goods. The paper may be of interest to all export transaction participants, including manufacturers, merchants, and professional associations. The export expansion assessment method applied by the authors may be adopted by exporting companies to identify groups of goods that have export growth reserves.

The use of advanced ICT technologies and the support of new ways of thinking, acting and working in public administration, together with the increased provision of information and interactive services accessible through various channels, is the foundation of eGovernment. In recent years, there has been visible progress in all EU countries in terms of the general framework for e-government strategy, which is based on best practices and methodologies. The aim of our research is to discover the way in which the EU states are situated from the point of view of the digitalization of the administration. For this I used Gaussian models. The main research parameters were: accessibility; transparency, investments in information and communication technologies and investments in infrastructure related to public administrations in EU countries. The results show significant differences between state administrations. We applied Gaussian Mixture Model clustering in order to make an analysis of the national E-government situation in the European Union for 2018. The GMM algorithm estimated six clusters. We find that the first cluster, with Nordic countries, Netherlands and Austria, has the highest values of telecommunication infrastructure, citizens’ access to e-government services and Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index. At the opposite pole, in cluster 2, Romania and Bulgaria have the lowest values of these three indicators, while their public investment levels are not significantly under EU averages. Our research provides not only an overview of the digitization of administrations, but also what are the main lags that state administrations have to recover in order to reach a digital system integrated into the EU's administrative space.
