This publication presents the results of the survey of persons crossing the European Union’s external border on the territory of Poland, that is the borders with Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine. Information contained in the book concerns mainly the characteristics of expenses incurred by foreigners in Poland and by Poles abroad, as well as of border traffic including the purpose of travel or frequency of crossing the border, among other things. On the basis of the survey results, delimitation of the areas of border impact has been also made. Conducting the surveys prior to the entry into force of the Agreement on local border traffic between Poland and Ukraine allows for comparison of the situation on border area before and after the implementation of facilitations in crossing of the border.
