In Western Europe, the period from about AD500-700 is often called the Dark Ages. In fact from about AD410 onwards the western part of the empire was overrun by various group of barbarian invaders.

The Eastern Empire fared better and under Emperor Justinian succeeded in reconquering some of areas lost by the Western Empire, including much of southern Italy, parts of North Africa and some areas of Gaul and Spain near the Mediterranean coast. However, they were unable to hold on to these areas for long.

What are the reasons for the decline of trade in western europe?

I'm assuming you are referring to the Dark Ages and not today. Western Europe was shut into isolationism after the fall of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire ruled over Western Europe for 1,000 years and it collapsed, leaving Western Europe confused and disadvantaged. The fall of Rome was brought upon and succeeded by Barbarians, who were terrifying people. After the fall of Rome, Europe was shut into darkness, where Europeans were basically living and dying within a few miles of where they were born. It wouldn't be until the voyage of Marco Polo that Europe would flourish once again.
