Abstract

Analyzing the environment of enterprises, it is difficult to imagine a greater change in their envi- ronment than to change the national currency in favor of a common European currency. Hence, without a doubt, the entrance to the Eurozone must be more conscious for the functioning of the economic entities in Poland. The hypothetical impact of the introduction of the euro zone in the function of enterprises should look to the potential impact of macroeconomic and refer to the micro-level, the enterprise. Most studies, the literature, and the scientific discussions about the Polish entry into the Eurozone concern the benefits and costs by Poland's accession to the euro area, from the macroeconomic point of view. The main point of the article is the position of traders concerning accession to the monetary union, on the basis of the results of exploratory research. Therefore, the research question is: what concerns do commercial enterprises engaged in interna- tional trade perceive in the Polish accession to the euro area.
