CEF Dashboard Shows Increased Reuse of the CEF Building Blocks, Creating a Digital Single Market!
















Reuse of the CEF building blocks, individually and together, is picking-up at an ever greater pace, the latest CEF Dashboard figures show!

The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is the EU's main funding instrument for trans-European networks. It supports basic and re-usable digital solutions, known as CEF building blocks, which enable the digitalisation of key sectors for European citizens, businesses and public administrations from Justice, to Health and Procurement, among several others.

By going online, these solutions - CEF eID, eTranslation, eInvoicing, eSingature & eDelivery - also become available across-borders through a simple web-browser on a computer, mobile phone or other device. The availability of such solutions helps citizens to study, work and travel abroad; and businesses to transact and trade in the European Single Market fuelling economic growth.


In addition, the landmark eIDAS Regulation ((EU) Nr. 910/2014) creates a harmonised legal background for the CEF building blocks throughout Europe.

Reuse of the CEF building blocks, individually and together, is picking-up pace.
















The CEF Dashboard is a handy place where facts, figures with more detailed information on pan-European projects reusing the CEF building blocks, such as the EU's Online Dispute Resolution Portal, eJustice Portal or the Pan-European OpenData Portal.
