Abstract
 

The purpose of this article is to analyse the material or resource flow of new European Union (EU) states, in Baltic countries; and to compare them on the EU level. Energy security is always one of the most important problems in the EU. The EU and including the Baltic countries are poor of material and energy region. With regard to acute political and economic situation in Eastern Europe is very topical, what is the position of resource in the former Soviet bloc countries. The analysis showed that the greater use of resources does not always lead to economic growth. Effective use of resources is different in Europe from country to country. How far is the use of these lands resource, including the 2009th economic crisis? What are the prospects for a partial boycott of resources? What are the lessons from the resource flow?
