End of public consultation on eDelivery profile 2.0 specifications
The public consultation period for the eDelivery profile 2.0 specifications concluded on Monday, 8 April 2024. We appreciate everyone's input and thank you for your reviews.
The 2.0 specifications for the eDelivery profile will not be adopted immediately. After an initial theoretical review of these specifications, which you helped enhance through two rounds of public consultation, practical testing is the next step. This testing will occur at our Interoperability Event (11 & 25 June), where we will examine the eDelivery specifications from a practical standpoint.
To test the specifications, we would like to engage with solution providers who are preparing proof-of-concept implementations of our AS4 2.0 specifications. Please get in touch at EC-EDELIVERY-SUPPORT@ec.europa.eu, so we can coordinate the event plan. Find out more about the event in Interested in our Interoperability Event? See how to prepare.
The public consultation on the 2024 drafts of the eDelivery profile 2.0 specifications was open from 8 March to 8 April. It followed the 2023 public consultation on the initial drafts of our 2.0 specifications. Based on the feedback received, adjustments were made to the AS4 and SMP profiles and we released 2024 drafts for both. Additionally, following the first public consultation, we published draft 2.0 versions of two further profiles: BDXL and ebCore Party Id.
