Trade as an engine of economic growth can play an important role in the economic development of countries, given that the formation of trade-economic unio‎ns can increase trade between countries; hence, the neighboring countries try to form economic unio‎ns - Trade have more business with each other. unio‎n member countries are required to comply with a set of rules that are acceptable to all members of the unio‎n, the implementation of these laws will bring about the integration and integration of more member countries. Therefore, these rules are referred to as integrity or integration policies. Given that the European unio‎n is the most prominent and most successful economic unio‎n in the world, the study seeks to assess the impact of EU integration on the performance of the economies of the member states. Therefore, four subscales of common market, homogeneity, correlation and symmetry and a general index for measuring the degree of integrity have been used. Considering that economic growth is one of the most important factors that can reflect the economic situation of a country and is one of the goals of macroeconomic growth, in this research, first of all, it has been tried to determine the effect of each of these indicators, for each Which countries are calculated to be part of the member's economic growth? For this purpose, the panel model for the 23 EU member states has been calculated from 2004 to 2012, the result of the model's estimation for all indicators except for the common market index is meaningful and indicates a negative relationship between the integrity index and the economic growth of members of the European unio‎n is. Then, in order to examine the effect of the EU Integrity Index on Iran's economic performance, the balance-of-payments variable has been used because, according to the theory of gravity models, countries can influence the economic performance through the balance of payments. The estimation of this sector has been calculated as a regular minimum squared regression for the 14 member countries of the unio‎n from 1999 to 2012, the result of which is a negative correlation between the degree of integration of the European unio‎n and the level of change in the balance of payments in Iran.
