Trade flows scale proportionally with economy size and inversely with distance. As Europe shrinks economically, their trade partners will also shrink, but to a lesser degree.
Over time, economies closer to Asia will grow more and those closer to Europe will shrink.

They might just be at a trade disadvantage, by virtue of being further away from Asia, and that might put downward pressure on their economies.
