The article discusses the problem of great multifariousness of “new” members of the European Union concerning remaining European countries and between each other. The aim of the research is a comparison within years 2004−2016 and an assessment of innovativeness of thirteen chosen countries which joined the European Union in 2004−2013. What is more, a goal is to enunciate the determinants of the assessment. The implementation of these indicators required using a comparative analysis of multiple indicator SII (Summary Innovation Index) as well as partial indicators, which describe respective areas of innovativeness in the European Union countries (according to assumptive methodology “European Innovation Scoreboard”). Against this background, conditionings of differences in innovativeness level of “new” countries of the European Union between 2004 and 2016 were conceptualized. The research indicated weak and strong sides of innovativeness which contributed achieving a determined position in innovativeness ranking. During the working on the article, the author used source literature, annual reports of the European Commission about the innovativeness of countries belonging to the European Union and INSEAD report, concerning innovativeness in common economy.
