In the modern world, the degree of development of creative industries of a country determines its place in the world economy. According to the dynamics of the development of a creative economy, the European Union is the undisputed leader, therefore, it is important to analyse the European peculiarities of the development and functioning of this sector of the European economy, as the study is aimed at. There are many classifications of cultural and creative industries, but in the EU, the most commonly used is the classification, which distinguishes the following sub-sectors of creative industries: books: author’s books, specialized bookstores, public and academic libraries, books publishing, etc.; newspapers and magazines: newspaper industry, magazines and periodicals industry, the activity of news agencies, etc.; music: recording music and music publishing activities, composers and lyricists, radio stations, music channels on TV, etc.; performing arts: performing arts (concerts, theatrical productions, dance numbers, etc.) and related activities; television: television programs, production, post-production and distribution, the activities of creators working in the television industry, etc.; films: the motion picture production, post-production and distribution, the work of creators working in the film industry, etc.; radio: activities related to broadcasting; video games: the activities of video game developers, publishers, retailers, and distributors, etc.; fine arts: photo industry, design, arts and crafts, museums, etc., the activity of creators of fine arts; architecture: the activity of architectural companies; advertising: the activity of advertising agencies, etc. In this work is considered the state of the creative sector of the economy of the Europe. In the world, there are 11 subsectors of the creative economy, each of which is a significant part of the development of the entire sector. The European Union is ranked second among the creative industries markets in the world, that is evidence of understanding of the importance of this sector for the further development of the EU. In many countries, the creative sector has outstripped key sectors of the economy, such as the chemical industry, energy supply and financial services. In the European Union, there are three major centers of the creative economy, namely, Great Britain, Germany and France. These three countries account major part of the profits of the creative economy in the EU as a whole. This article describes the state of development of the creative sector in each of three countries mentioned above, as well as explores ways of supporting the creative sector by the government. Each country introduces special programs to attract more people to the creative economy. Governments actively work on popularization of this sector of the economy among the population and increase of the competitiveness of the countries among other creative economies in the world. In order to further development of the creative economy, the European Union actively implements joint programs between Member States to support cultural and creative industries in whole union and create opportunities for increasing their part in the economic structure of the EU member states.
