Abstract: The paper titled *"Common Commercial Policy of the European Union: Principles and Development in the Modern Times"* discusses the evolution of the Common Commercial Policy (CCP) from its origins in the European Economic Community (EEC) to its present-day role within the European Union (EU). The paper highlights how the CCP facilitates free trade among member states by eliminating barriers and fostering international cooperation. It traces key developments, including the establishment of the Maastricht Treaty, legal interpretations by the European Court of Justice, and the expansion of the CCP to include intellectual property rights and foreign direct investment. The author also addresses criticisms of the CCP, particularly regarding national sovereignty and trade restrictions, while arguing that the policy plays a vital role in the EU’s economic and political stability. The analysis underscores the balance between nationalism and internationalism that the CCP represents for EU member states.
