New release of the CEF Reuse Watch

Reuse Overview

64% of the CEF Sector Specific DSIs are reusing or committed to reuse at least one building block. The pie chart below shows how many systems are reusing zero or more building blocks.

The European Commission has released a new version the CEF Reuse watch. The new dashboard includes an update on the reuse data for 2016 Q3, and the addition of a reuse overview section which presents reuse in a single aggregated percentage. Detailed figures and the evolution of reuse per building block remain available.

The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) provides EUR 870 million for the creation of cross-border digital services in Europe, largely through the CEF building block Digital Service Infrastructure (DSI) (eDelivery, eID, eSignature, eTranslation and eInvoicing). Cross-border digital services are a fundamental aspect of the Digital Single Market, which aims to overcome digital barriers, with a projected value of EUR 415 billion to the European economy.

Reuse of the CEF building blocks is gaining momentum with over 50 projects reusing or actively considering reusing the CEF Building Blocks. In addition, Calls for Proposals for an indicative EUR 70 million of grant funding are open for a number of CEF building blocks and related Digital Service Infrastructure in 2016. The Calls for Proposals are administrated by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) .  

The CEF Monitoring and Reporting framework includes three categories of monitoring activities:  

CEF dashboard users have now a better visibility on the reuse of the CEF Building blocks and this dashboard will continue to be updated on a quarterly basis.
