The experience of cooperative movement in developed countries has been explored and recommendations on its application in Ukraine have been developed taking into account European technical rules, norms and standards for agricultural products quality in order to increase the overall efficiency of the economy, improve the quality of goods and services. Innovative development of EU co-operation promotes the fact that during the first five years of the state, the state implements co-operative societies to finance administrative expenses and maintains specialists that help develop and apply new technologies for improving the quality of products within the cooperative association; cooperatives are given loans at preferential interest rates; In case of overproduction, cooperatives receive funding to remove surplus products from the market, which helps to balance demand and supply. European integration will help boost the productivity of the economy and the pace of technological modernization under the influence of competition in the European market and the free access to the latest technologies, capital and information; raising the skills of the labor force in the conditions of their free movement within the single market; creating a more favorable investment environment. In the EU, there are measures not only regarding state support for agricultural producers, production quotas, export subsidies, import tariff quotas, and intensive tariff and non-tariff protection of the domestic market. This system is more dynamic, as there are some changes both in the context of improving the common agricultural policy of the EU and in accordance with the dynamics of the negotiations taking place within the framework of the World Trade Organization. To integrate into the European Union, Ukraine needs to change the process of implementing economic and financial policies, abandon protectionist measures in the field of export-import operations, and legalize the shadow economy. This will open up opportunities for the development of cooperative relations.
