Permitting secure document workflows between EU and national institutions
Trusted Exchange Platform – e-Trustex
When is this action of interest to you?
You are a European public administration that needs to electronically exchange information with other entities in a secure way. e-TrustEx is a cross-sector, open-source, free-to-use tool that will help you to exchange structured and unstructured documents and to connect to pan-European e-delivery infrastructures with reduced investment.
What is this action about?
This action will provide a Trusted Exchange Platform (e-Trustex) to support information exchange in areas such as legislation and competition policy. The Platform will be based on the existing e-PRIOR infrastructure, developed for the e-procurement area.
What are the objectives?
- Demonstrating the re-usability of the e-Trustex platform in several sectors.
- Customising and extending e-PRIOR, in order to automate document workflows by exchanging XML metadata and any related attachments (such as legislative and non-legislative acts in PDF, Word, etc.) in electronic format via a reliable and secure platform with the respective counter parties.
- Definition of a holistic Architectural Vision through the analysis of the CIP Large Scale Pilots, e-PRIOR and other exchange platforms.

What is our approach?
This project will collaborate with several European Commission Directorates-General and with several other stakeholders (e.g. participants of CIP pilots, Member States). A Project Coordination Group will ensure coordination and involvement of each of the associated services.
Project stages:
- First phase focuses on the analysis and implementation of the adaptation of the e-PRIOR platform to support the functional and architectural requirements necessary for the integration of two Commission back-end systems (pilots).
- Second phase introduces a parallelism between:
- definition of a robust architecture vision with associated Implementation Roadmap making the platform reference for cross sector and cross border information exchange integrated with the transport infrastructure created by the CIP pilots; and
- implementation of pilots together with first series of actions / additional features described in Roadmap that would prove the validity of its architecture in real / concrete situations.
- Other phases will be identified based on the Roadmap mentioned above.
