Volume #26

Hello everyone,

Following the closure of the first CEF call for proposals in 2019, we’re happy to say that projects all over Europe requested €28 million. CEF eTranslation, for example, received requests totalling more than double the amount of funding available (almost €8.2m requested out of €4m)!

So, what are the next steps? The proposals are evaluated (June-August), the CEF Committee consulted (September), the European Parliament informed (October) and successful proposals selected (October). You can see the breakdown of the funding requests for each Building Block and a detailed timeline in the article below.

In this edition we have another Connecting Europe Success Story, which will tell us how eDelivery is changing logistics for the better - and for good! We also take stock of the status of eIDAS in Europe, hear the latest from CEF webinars and an update on eInvoicing code lists.

As ever, keep an eye on our events calendar and the CEF Monitoring Dashboard and we'll be back soon with another CEF Building Blocks Bulletin.

Kind regards,

The CEF Digital Team
