Summary/Abstract: An aim of this study is an attempt to assess attitudes of Polish consumers towards the process of integration with the European Union as well as to identify how they really assess the transformations taken place in Poland within the decade upon its admission to the European Union. For the purpose of analysis of the collected research material, appeared in result of empirical studies carried out by various research centres in Poland during the last ten years, the author used the secondary sources as well as the primary sources in the form of empirical studies conducted in the Department of Marketing of the University of Szczecin. The research shows that the level of support by Polish consumers for the process of integration with the European Union has remained relatively high. Polish consumers think optimistically of the future within the EU. The accession to the community and the accompanying financial support in the form of structural funds have allowed for restructuring of the Polish economy and, owing to that, for the growth of the Polish consumers’ living standard.
