EN: The article defines the essence of economic diplomacy, as a system of instruments for the implementation
of foreign economic policy based on peaceful methods, which includes economic content and diplomatic form.
The properties and features of economic diplomacy are outlined, including systemic character, direct and
direct connection with foreign economic policy, peaceful and peace-making nature. Emphasis is placed on the
peculiarities of the construction of economic diplomacy in the European Union, macro-indicators of its economic
development are determined, which reflect a powerful economic system that is constantly growing and ranks
third in the world. It was concluded that the European Union does not provide direct and targeted diplomatic
support to business entities of member countries. Measures to promote the commercial interests of the countries
themselves belong to the sphere of national competences. Commercial and microeconomic diplomacy are
actually not used in EU practice. Its only dimension is the macro level. It is noted that EU economic diplomacy
can meaningfully be defined as a framework procedural simplification of trade and financial transactions. In
terms of form, this is manifested in the participation of a supranational association in international negotiations on
trade, cross-border movement of factors of production, regulation of financial markets, protection of intellectual
property rights in the international exchange of knowledge, etc. It was found that the most widely supranational
mechanisms of economic diplomacy are implemented in the union in the field of international trade, in relation
to direct investments, supranational bodies have not yet created mechanisms for implementing their exclusive
powers. It is noted that the process of applying mechanisms of economic diplomacy in the EU is reinforced by
its own diplomatic service – the European Service of Foreign Affairs. It is emphasized that EU supranational
bodies take part in relevant processes along with national agents of economic diplomacy, but in practice the role
of Brussels is reduced to restraining the initiatives of EU member states. In order to form a coherent system
of European economic diplomacy and increase the effectiveness of supranational mechanisms of the EU, a
number of measures have been proposed.
