欧洲联盟（欧盟）的特点是贸易高度开放，因此其成员国更容易受到迅速变化的全球环境所带来的外部冲击的影响。该文件的目的是比较和评价欧盟农业综合企业的因素、其脆弱性及其衡量工具，从而在欧盟成员国内划分对外来冲击脆弱程度不同的分组。该研究假设，欧盟在贸易敏感性和脆弱性方面不是一个同质的单位。它利用公认的国际机构的数据分析了这一现象。其方法是一个多准则分析与总结性标度。对分析的评估是通过对19个影响可持续性的相关参数进行线性汇总而提供的，这些参数包括气候变化风险和政治稳定性。研究结果证实了欧盟异质性的假设，并确定了四组成员国具有不同程度的全球冲击的脆弱性。它可以提高对农业部门在欧盟经济中地位的理解，并在需要该部门全面恢复的新条件下更准确地重新制定其共同农业政策（CAP）优先事项。
The European Union (EU) is characterized by a high level of openness to trade, consequently increasing its member countries' vulnerability to external shocks coming from the rapidly changing global environment. The paper's objective was to compare and evaluate the factors of the EU agribusiness, its vulnerability and its measurement tools, and consequently to create subgroupings within EU member countries with different levels of vulnerability to exogenous shocks. The study hypothesized that the EU is not a homogenous unit regarding its trade sensitivity and vulnerability. It analyzed this phenomenon using data of recognized international institutions. Its method was a multi-criteria analysis with summative scaling. The assessment of the analysis was provided by the linear aggregation of 19 relevant vulnerability-influencing parameters, including climate change risk and political stability. The study results confirmed the hypothesis of the EU heterogeneity and identified four groups of member countries with different levels of the vulnerability to global shocks. It can improve an understanding of the agrarian sector position within the EU economy and a more precise re-formulation of its Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) priorities under the new conditions requiring the comprehensive resilience of the sector.
