The deal is sealed: European Commission takes digital one step further by using qualified e-seals on all documents
©Pixabay
Rethinking processes to deliver more effective services is a key driver of e-government. It is also at the core of the EU Action Plan for eGovernment which aims to achieve open and innovative public administrations across Europe by 2020. An essential enabler for e-government is trust: trust in the identity of the people on the other side of the interaction and trust in the integrity and origin of documents.
Since December 2018, the European Commission has been applying qualified electronic seals (e-seals) to all manually-registered documents in its ARES document management system. This allows anybody receiving a document from the Commission to be certain where it came from and that is has not been modified.
The European Commission, serving over 500 million EU citizens, aims to lead by example in the digitisation of its processes. The decision to use e-seals is an important milestone to the full digital transformation of the European Commission, making processes paperless and more efficient.
What are e-seals?
E-seals have been established in European law since 2016 through the eIDAS Regulation on electronic identification and trust services. E-seals are applied to documents or data and identify a legal entity, such as an organisation or business, providing certainty to the origin and integrity of a document. The eIDAS Regulation defines three levels of e-seals: simple, advanced and qualified. Qualified e-seals provide the highest level of security and are recognised everywhere in the EU through the eIDAS Regulation’s certification scheme, supported by the trusted lists.
The e-sealing solution at the European Commission is based on DSS, the open-source library provided by the Connecting Europe Facility’s (CEF) eSignature Building Block. DSS makes it easy for implementers of e-sealing or e-signing solutions to stay compliant with the eIDAS Regulation and related standards. This means, for example, that a Greek entrepreneur can sign a permit application in Helsinki and expect it to be recognised by public authorities in Dublin.
With the 2018 Commission Digital Strategy, the Commission has committed to lead by example by becoming a digitally transformed, user-focused and data-driven administration.
What are the CEF Building Blocks?
The Connecting Europe Facility’s Building Blocks (CEF eArchiving, Context Broker, Big Data Test Infrastructure, eDelivery, eID, eInvoicing, eSignature and eTranslation) enable secure cross-border digital interactions between citizens, businesses and public administrations. To see how, read the success stories of the CEF Building Blocks.
CEF eDelivery: Webinars on grant awarded projects, sending an AS4 message & PNR Directive
The CEF eDelivery team is organising a set of webinars, aimed at promoting the benefits of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eDelivery Building Block for policy offers, project managers and I.T. system implementers.
On 28 February, you have the opportunity to learn more about projects that implemented eDelivery thanks to CEF funding, via the Webinar with the Informal Cooperation Network for eDelivery - CEF awarded projects. The target audience for this webinar are projects assessing the application to CEF funding or projects assessing the use of eDelivery.
On 7 March, there is another session of the Hands-on webinar where participants have a chance to learn how to send an AS4 message. The target audience for this webinar are technical teams involved in assessing the use of eDelivery in a specific project.
On 27 March, there is a webinar targeted at stakeholders in the context of the PNR Directive to learn more about how eDelivery works and how can they benefit from the CEF eDelivery services available to facilitate implementation. The target audience are public and private sector stakeholders in the context of PNR, i.e. Passenger Information Units and airline companies.
The CEF eDelivery building block proposes the use of the AS4 messaging protocol to create a secure channel for the transmission of documents and data by electronic means, over the internet or via a private network. AS4 both provides evidence relating to the handling of the transmitted data as well as protecting it against the risk of loss, theft, damage or any unauthorised alterations. Projects use eDelivery to exchange documents and data in a secure way among many participants (within Europe and beyond).
An indicative €1 million in CEF grant funding is available to support the implementation of CEF eDelivery. Visit the Innovation & Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and apply.
Support for the PEPPOL AS4 profile mandatory in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network from 1 February 2020
On 13 February 2019, following up on a process initiated in 2016, the PEPPOL Authorities within OpenPEPPOL decided to make support for the PEPPOL AS4 profile mandatory in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network. This decision will take effect as of 1 February 2020. The decision was taken in understanding with the European Commission’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eDelivery team and is based on a recent assessment of the status of AS4 use in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network.
The OpenPEPPOL decision by the PEPPOL Authorities on setting a date for the transition from support for PEPPOL AS4 as an optional message exchange protocol to mandatory was made as part of an ongoing revision of the PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure Agreement (TIA) Annex 4 on Technical Specifications. The decision states that:
- Until 31 January 2020, support for the PEPPOL AS2 profile remains mandatory and support for the PEPPOL AS4 profile remains optional.
- From 1 February 2020 onwards, support for the PEPPOL AS2 profile becomes optional and support for the PEPPOL AS4 profile becomes mandatory.
- New entrants to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network may support only the PEPPOL AS4 profile from 1 August 2019 or the date agreed by the OpenPEPPOL Managing Committee.
The date 1 February 2020 results from the achievements of the actions defined in the Letter of Understanding signed by the European Commission and OpenPEPPOL in September 2016, outlining the transition from AS2 to AS4 message exchange protocols, and reflects the findings in a recent AS4 Market Readiness Survey Report made for OpenPEPPOL.
Main conclusions in the AS4 Market Readiness Survey Report
The survey shows that 20% of respondents have sent or received messages using AS4 as communication protocol at the time of the survey.
The survey also shows that 47,4% of the remaining respondents plan to support AS4 during the next 6 months, evenly distributed between Q1 (23,7%) and Q2 (23,7%) of 2019.
First PEPPOL AS4 profile transactions in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network
The number of AS4 transactions in the PEPPOL network has been increasing steadily after the Norwegian Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (Difi) offered a reward among the Access Point providers being the first to report 10.000 AS4 transactions in production.
This reward was won by the Norwegian Access Point and financial management service provider Uni Micro AS. In a statement on the introduction of support for the PEPPOL AS4 profile, Uni Micro CEO Jannike Neset, says that:
“Uni Micro have a strategic approach to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network, which is to implement all new elements as soon as possible. AS4 was according to this strategy, natural for us to support immediately. We were also challenged by Difi, on how soon the PEPPOL AS4 profile could be supported and deployed into production. By using one senior developer, we were able to deploy the PEPPOL AS4 profile into production in only two working days. This includes the full range of development, testing and deployment. Our strategy on using Kubernetes (container technology), was also a key element in order to do this at such speed. Uni Micro will encourage other Access Points to support the PEPPOL AS4 profile without delay. In our experience, it can be done real swift and easy, within 2-4 days.”

An indicative sum of € 1 million in CEF grant funding is available to support the transition to the eDelivery AS4 profile.
CEF Telecom Work Programme 2019: Grants and New Blockchain Building Block
On 14 February 2019, the European Commission published the 2019 CEF Telecommunications Work Programme. The 2019 Work Programme also links to to actions foreseen in 2020.
The Work Programme outlines the general objectives and priorities for actions to be launched by the Commission in 2019 and explains how these can be tangibly achieved through the selected digital service infrastructures, including the CEF Building Blocks.
The CEF Building Blocks are basic digital infrastructures that enable the more complex digital service infrastructures to function properly. The CEF Building Blocks consist of eArchiving, Big Data Test Infrastructure, Context Broker, eDelivery, eID, eInvoicing, eSignature & eTranslation.
In 2019, CEF funding supports several of these Building Blocks in their implementation throughout Europe. The Innovation & Networks Executive Agency (INEA) administrates CEF grant funding.
Visit INEA to access all the information you need to submit a proposal. Below you will find an overview of CEF grants in 2019.
Building Block | Indicative Level of Funding | High-level funding objective (consult Work Programme and Call Texts via INEA for complete outline) | Grants open | Deadline for proposals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
€ 4.5 million | Support public and private bodies providing online services to integrate those services with the eIDAS interoperability nodes | Thursday 14 February 2019 | Tuesday 14 May 2019 (17:00.00 Brussels time) | |
€ 0.5 million | Support the use of the Trusted Lists that Member States are obliged to establish, maintain and publish in line with eIDAS Regulation, in electronic signature systems | Thursday 14 February 2019 | Tuesday 14 May 2019 (17:00.00 Brussels time) | |
€ 1 million | Support the deployment and operation of Access Points and Service Metadata Publishers, as well as the upgrading of data exchange solutions to support and duly comply with the CEF eDelivery standards | Thursday 14 February 2019 | Tuesday 14 May 2019 (17:00.00 Brussels time) | |
€ 6.2 million | Allow a reinforced support to Member States lagging behind in terms of uptake of eInvoicing (and late comers in terms of the compliance with the eInvoicing Directive) and support innovative projects that allow end-to-end eProcurement to be achieved through the integration of Invoicing modules. | Thursday 14 February 2019 | Tuesday 14 May 2019 (17:00.00 Brussels time) | |
*using the Automated Translation engine | € 4 million | Support the collection of language tools and resources for specific domains and for under-resourced languages as well as to stimulate the integration and take-up of CEF eTranslation services. | Thursday 14 February 2019 | Tuesday 14 May 2019 (17:00.00 Brussels time) |
This Work Programme also includes Blockchain in the CEF programme.
The aim of this action is to consolidate the political and technological efforts carried out at EU level in the area of Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies to further the delivery of a generic and reusable Blockchain Building Block to be added to the existing ecosystem of CEF Building Blocks.
In 2019, the efforts of the Commission shall be based on consolidating and continuing efforts undertaken by ongoing EU projects for instance: DG TAXUD’s and DG FISMA’s piloting of cross-border digital services based on Blockchain and several Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation projects – and others – that have utilised Blockchain applications to enhance digital services across borders.
The goal is to allow Member States to exploit registries and databases and share secure and trusted access to information and transactions recorded through those registries and databases in (almost) real time, in a secure and trusted way, whilst reducing the overall costs of such processes for individual Member States and for the EU as a whole. It will also allow a permissioned Blockchain solution to be used by the national administrations that is fully compliant with the EU acquis, ensuring in particular compliance with the Directive on security of network and information systems (NIS), the eIDAS Regulation, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
There are no grants foreseen in 2019.
The CEF Building Blocks bring real improvements in daily life for citizens, businesses (including SMEs) and administrations as called upon by the Member States in the Tallinn Declaration on eGovernment. In this delectation the Member States commit to enhance the re-use of the CEF infrastructures - in particular eID, eSignature, eDelivery and eInvoicing – and to promote their implementation in more domains.

The New CEF Monitoring Guidebook In A Nutshell
CEF Digital 2018 is delighted to announce the updated Monitoring Guidebook.
Download it here About the CEF Monitoring (old)
What is the guidebook?
The guidebook describes the CEF Monitoring and Reporting framework which defines the structure of the monitoring and reporting activities carried out by the CEF Stakeholder Management Office (SMO). It defines:
- The common set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for progress monitoring;
- The methodology for monitoring the reuse of the CEF Building Blocks.
What is new?
The updated guidebook includes the three new Building Blocks and corresponding metrics:
Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI), which offers tools and technologies to support the different elements of data processing, from data collection to data ingestion and transformation for processing, analysis, exploration and visualisation.
eArchiving, which provides the core specifications, software, training and knowledge to tackle the challenge of short, medium and long-term digital information management and reuse in a sustainable, authentic, cost-efficient, manageable and interoperable way.
Context Broker, which that enables organisations (including but not limited to public administrations) to manage and share data in real-time describing “what is currently happening” within their organisations, in the real world they manage or where they run their daily business processes.
The update also includes the "Uptake KPI for eInvoicing", which now includes clearer metrics. The eInvoicing capacity building and Connectivity testing metrics have been replaced by Implementation of the Business to Government (B2G) solution and by Transposition of the Directive 2014/55/EU.
The two new metrics are focused on the B2G eInvoicing capabilities and the transposition of the eInvoicing Directive respectively.
Finally, the new guidebook includes the inclusion of more specific quality KPI metrics for eTranslation and Public Open Data . The eTranslation quality metric will take into account the BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy), which is a Machine Translation quality metric. For Public Open Data, two components are monitored and reported on:
- The amount of datasets in compliance with the DCAT-AP specification.
- The amount of data distribution which are accessible, i.e., for which there is a working download or access URL.
Beside these main changes, many small modifications have been made to improve the CEF Monitoring framework and guidebook.

eArchiving webinar series
In January 2019, the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eArchiving Building Block held two webinars on the new Building Block. The webinars aim to raise awareness of the Building Block and enable direct contact with the user community and interested potential users.
The webinars
On 10 January 2019, an 'Introduction to eArchiving' webinar was presented by Kuldar Aas, National Archives of Estonia, and Janet Anderson, Danish National Archives. The speakers introduced how eArchiving is developing core specifications, software, training and knowledge to tackle the challenge of data management and reuse.
Karin Bredenberg, National Archives of Sweden, and Carl Wilson, Open Preservation Foundation, presented a second webinar on "eArchiving specifications in focus" on 22 January 2019. They presented how the eArchiving Building Block, founded by the E-ARK project, produced open specifications to be used with the E-ARK tools and services. eArchiving enhanced and stabilised the specifications which were released for review by the community in December 2018. The webinar provided a brief introduction to the specifications, explained how they are managed and developed and how the community can use and contribute to them.
CEF eDelivery is helping Europe fight crime and terrorism
@3rd Meeting on the Application of the PNR Directive in the Hague, the Netherlands
On Thursday 8 February 2019, the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eDelivery Building Block participated at the 3rd meeting on the application of the Passenger Name Record (PNR) Directive with Member States representatives in the Hague, the Netherlands. Adrien Ferial, CEF eDelivery Technical Office leader, presented eDelivery and how public and private sector stakeholders can benefit from the CEF eDelivery services in the PNR context.
The PNR Directive
The PNR Directive ensures the use of passenger name record data for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences and serious crime in the support of European law enforcement. The PNR Implementing Act, on the common protocols and data formats to be used by air carriers when transferring PNR data to Passenger Information Units (PIUs), promotes, among two other protocols, the use of AS4 protocol for the transfer of PNR data. AS4 is an open standard that ensures secure and reliable exchange of digital documents and messages in various contexts, it is the foundation of the eDelivery Building Block.
Since 25 May 2018, the PNR Directive is being actively implemented in the Member States. The Commission remains strongly committed to promote the use of AS4 to the largest extent possible. The CEF eDelivery team offers training sessions and deployment support of the CEF eDelivery components to public authorities. Support is also available to other stakeholders, such as airlines, that want to reuse Domibus, the European Commission sample implementation of the AS4 profile.
CEF eDelivery live webinar for the PNR community
To further support the PNR community, CEF eDelivery invites airline companies to attend a webinar that will provide information on the CEF eDelivery specifications and the CEF eDelivery Service Offering, to be held on 27 March 2019.
EAS Code list to be soon updated: submit your Requests for Change before 1 March
On 15 March 2019, the European Commission intends to publish version 2.0 of the Electronic Address Scheme (EAS) code list.Those who wish to have new codes added to the list, or any other changes made to the EAS code list, are kindly invited to submit them before 1 March 2019.
Requests for Change (RfC) should be submitted through the CEF Service Desk. The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital website provides access to the EAS code list, with detailed information on the process for submitting RfCs and on the governance of the code list in general (section 8.1.5 on the Code lists page).
eInvoicing standard Code lists
The EAS code list is necessary when using electronic addresses to exchange eInvoices through transmission networks. Management of the code list was assigned to the European Commission’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eInvoicing team.
The CEF eInvoicing building block supports public administrations in complying with the aforementioned eInvoicing Directive, and helps solution providers adapt their services accordingly. To do so, CEF eInvoicing makes the following services available:
- eInvoicing Service Desk
- eInvoicing on-site and remote Trainings
- eInvoicing Readiness Checker
- eInvoicing Conformance Testing
New look for the CEF reuse dashboard!
Have you ever wondered how many projects are already using the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Building Blocks?
Or what kind of projects we have helped realise in the past years?
Take a moment and have a look at the new CEF Reuse Dashboard. The new dashboard is more interactive, visually more attractive and meets stakeholders’ expectations. Do not wait any longer to consult which projects are reusing the Building Blocks by clicking here.
The CEF reuse dashboard
The dashboard is split into four sections
- Overview
- Evolution of reuse
- Domain of reuse
- Overview of reusers
The introduction displays the number of projects that have taken the reuse journey to date. This is sorted in three different steps: the analysis, commitment and reuse steps. Projects that are reusing Building Blocks are actively using the Building Blocks for their project. Projects committed to reusing have successfully analysed the feasibility of reusing the Building Blocks and have committed to use them. The last step, committed to analyse, are projects that plan to review the Building Blocks for their projects.
The "Filter the dashboard by.." option enables users to filter the dashboard according to their preferred choice of CEF Building Block and/or by annual quarter, including the introduction section.
Evolution of reuse
The “evolution of reuse” section depicts the number of projects per phase by quarter, starting from Q4 in 2014. Again, this section is split into commitment to analyse, commitment to reuse, reuse.
Domains of reuse
The third section, “domains of reuse” displays a radar chart, illustrating the reuse per domain. This chart can be adjusted per Building Block and time frame. For example, in the following graph, the radar has been filtered on “eID” for 2018 Q3.
Overview of reusers
The final section, “overview of reusers” allows users to see contextual project information of projects that have reused building blocks. Again, users have various filter options, including per Building Block, private and or public projects, CEF grant funded projects. There is also the option to only show projects funded by CEF grants. The information displayed on each card includes the projects full name, description, domain and reuse history. Links to CEF success stories and funding by CEF grants are also included in the cards.
The dashboard is updated every quarter and the next update, Q4 2018, numbers will be published in February 2019.
Note: The CEF reuse dashboard page is optimized for viewing on a desktop browser.
Presentation of European Building Blocks for Norwegian Select Committee for SKATE
Overview of CEF Building Block uptake in Norway
On 19 December 2019, experts from the European Commission presented the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Building Blocks to the Joint Council for Strategic Coordination of e-Government Services in Norway (SKATE).
The presentation focussed on the context and status for implementation of the Building Blocks, the Connecting Europe Success Stories (examples of when and how the Building Blocks supported fast project or service delivery in a cross-border context) and, finally, the management and control systems in place.
The event as an opportunity for key stakeholders in Norway to understand the value of the inherent value Building Blocks in building trans-European (digital) public services, understand the status of adoption in Norway and how the update of the Building Blocks can be increased in Norway.
