EESPA General Assembly 2016


In order to anticipate the legal obligation on EU Member States to comply with the 2014 Directive on eInvoicing, which requires all public administrations and entities within the EU to be able to receive and pay eInvoices from the end of 2018, CEF Digital 2018 presented on eInvoicing at the general assembly meeting of the Electronic E-invoicing Service Providers' Association on 19 May in Tallinn, Estonia.

This presentation started with a background on the origins of the CEF programme and the global policy it supports, the Digital Single Market, before providing an update on the status of eInvoicing at EC level and the associated actions taken to support public administrations' compliance with the Directive. In order to ensure that eInvoicing is as successful as possible, service providers were strongly encouraged to take advantage of these initiatives, such as the development of the Match-making website (MMWS), the goal of which is to "facilitate and accelerate compliance with the EU Directive 2014/55/EU by assisting Public Administrations in identifying and choosing an eInvoicing solution" depending on their differing levels of eInvoicing maturity.

Several participants at the meeting were extremely interested by the Match-making website (MMWS) and declared their interest to contribute to its development. Please contact the CEF Building Blocks team for more information or to be involved.
