We recently undertook, together with you and based on your input, a stakeholder analysis to deepen our understanding of the state-of-play of eInvoicing in EU Member States at the start of the year. This analysis will be updated in 2017 & 2018.
The study was done by an external contractor. The stakeholder analysis was conducted through desk research and an online questionnaire completed by the members of the European Multi-Stakeholder Forum on eInvoicing (EMSFEI) and the European eInvoicing Service Providers Association (EESPA). The final report unveils that eight countries had introduced eInvoicing as mandatory in their legislation – at different levels and in different set-ups, with three countries planning to introduce it. More information to come!
Currently, the CEF eInvoicing building block provides a number of services and support including the development of the CEF eInvoicing Match-Making Website (MMWS), a service intended to help European public administrations with differing levels of eInvoicing maturity to assess their readiness for compliance with eInvoicing Directive, document their relevant policy frameworks and identify relevant service providers to enable them to achieve compliance with the eInvoicing Directive. Other activities include involvement in the development of the European Standard on eInvoicing with the Centre Européen de Normalisation (CEN) and the development of testing services. The stakeholder analysis will help inform these activities and expand stakeholder engagement.
Financial support to help European public administrations and businesses to hook up to the core platforms of eInvoicing is also available. The 2016 CEF Telecom calls for proposals for eInvoicing will be launched on 13 September.
