About CEF eDelivery and ERDS of eIDAS:

The CEF eDelivery building block helps public administrations and businesses (and indirectly citizens) to participate in eDelivery Messaging Infrastructures which facilitate organisation-to-organisation messaging by enabling their systems to interact with each other in a secure, reliable and trusted way. The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital Programme, is currently promoting the adoption of common standards in the eDelivery Messaging Infrastructures in different policy domains (Business Registers, eJustice, eProcurement, etc.).

CEF eDelivery builds on the work of the Member States on the Large Scale Pilots (such as e-SENS) and the Regulation (EU) 910/201 on Electronic identification and trust services, commonly known as 'eIDAS'.

CEF eDelivery supports the fundamental principles of the Digital age by promoting the alignment between its technical specifications and the eIDAS regulatory framework.

eIDAS establishes the principle that an electronic document should not be denied legal effect on the grounds that it is in an electronic form. Having this objective in mind, it introduces Electronic Registered Delivery Service (ERDS) as a new trust service. eIDAS defines ERDS as a service that makes it possible to transmit data between third parties by electronic means and provides evidence relating to the handling of the transmitted data, including proof of sending and receiving the data, and that protects it against the risk of loss, theft, damage or any unauthorised alterations. 

About the CEF building blocks:

The CEF building blocks provide basic services which can be reused to enable more complex digital public services offered to citizens, businesses and public administration. They provide reusable tools and services helping to underpin the Digital Single Market, that aims to remove digital regulatory barriers, contributing as much as EUR 415 billion per year to the European economy. The CEF Digital Portal is the home of the CEF building blocks (eDeliveryeIDeInvoicingeSignature and eTranslation). It is the one-stop-shop for information about the building blocks. The portal provides access to tools, services and software that can be used in any European project to facilitate the delivery of digital public services across borders.
