Hello everyone, 

We've improved the CEF Digital site! It now provides users with clearer home pages, describing the Building Blocks in a more comprehensible and digestible way. This helps first-time visitors quickly understand if and how a Building Block will help their project. Our "Get Started" pages help users pick up the Building Blocks in an easier way through step by step guidance. Take a look at the new CEF Digital design to discover the new features and let us know what you think.

Don't forget that the 2019 calls for proposals is open for eTranslation (€ 4 million), eID (€ 4.5 million), eSignature (€ 0.5 million), eDelivery (€ 1 million) and eInvoicing (€ 6.2 million). Apply by 14 May 2019 !

And, as ever, regardless if you are completely new to the CEF programme, or an experienced implementer wanted to get started with another Building Block, tell us more about your project and we'll help you get started. 

Let's connect Europe, together.

Kind regards,

The CEF Digital Team

Electronic invoices can contain a variety of information in various data types. To allow for cross-border interoperability, information in code form can only contain values which are chosen from specific code lists that are identified in the European standard on eInvoicing.
