Register Now - How eInvoicing is Connecting Europe: Building a Digital Single Market
On 29 May 2018, the European Commission is organising an event around B2G eInvoicing, its legal mandate in the EU and the CEF eInvoicing services available to public and private entities to comply with the Directive 2014/55/EU. This event happens in the context of the legal deadline (i.e. by 18 April 2019 (extendable for one year for certain actors)) for Member States' public entities to implement the European Standard on eInvoicing.
The objective of this event is to bring together eInvoicing policy makers and technical implementers to discuss Member States' experiences in implementing eInvoicing in light of the publication of the European Standard on eInvoicing. The event participants will learn about the latest developments around the implementation of the Directive 2014/55/EU and case studies of eInvoicing implementation.
This event will demonstrate how eInvoicing can help build a successful Digital Single Market benefiting both the public and private sectors. It will also address how eInvoicing can generate cross-border services and other benefits to citizens, businesses and public administrations. Participation to this event will be open to everyone interested in eInvoicing to discuss B2G eInvoicing implementation from a policy and technical perspective. This event will also address the broader policy context linking eInvoicing with the Connecting Europe Facility.
Context
Directive 2014/55/EU calls for the creation of a European standard on eInvoicing in public procurement preventing the continued proliferation of non-interoperable standards and syntaxes in the Member States.
This set the clock ticking for the implementation of the Directive by Member States, with the legal deadline of 18 April 2019 (extendable for contracting authorities and entities which are not central government authorities).
On 17 October 2017, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) – mandated to create the European standard – published a reference to the standard in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
Goals
With one year to go, this event will help you have the clearest understanding of what actions must be taken before the deadline, and what support is available to you.
This event will bring together eInvoicing policy makers and technical implementers to discuss the experiences, needs and obligations of Member States further to the publication of the European Standard on eInvoicing.
Participants will learn about:
- Case studies from implementation at national level
- Challenges and next steps for the European Standard on eInvoicing
- CEF support available to public and private entities
This event will allow the participants to discuss, comment and make suggestions on the next steps to support eInvoicing in the EU.
Support for you
The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) financed eInvoicing Building Block provides an entire free service package to support implementation of both the Directive and, subsequently, the standard.
Experts from the European Commission have already organised on-site Implementation Workshops to explore implementation of the European standard in the Member States. This event is an opportunity to understand how to apply what was learned during these Implementation Workshops (and request tailor-made Workshops if you have not already done so).
