The May 1 accession of ten Eastern European and Mediterranean countries to the EU, will establish it as Israel’s largest trade partner in the world. As Cyprus joins the EU this weekend, the distance between Israel and the European Union shortens to only 200 km (130 miles). EU is the market for one third of Israeli exports and the source of 40% of imports to Israel.
