| Follow us

Hello,

Welcome to the latest edition of the CEF Building Block Bulletin.

We are happy to announce the launch of brand new versions of all the Building Blocks pages on our website. They now have a fresher look, with interactive maps, more relevant content and tailored user-journeys depending on your specific needs. Check out the eSignature page to see an example!

In this week's newsletter, we look at how the Swedish Customs authorities are using the eArchiving Building Block to preserve their records over the long-term in a secure, cost-effective way. And finally, as the Digital Innovation Challenge nears its conclusion, you can now hear the three finalists speak in depth about their unique Building Block projects.

You can help shape the future of eInvoicing by sharing your experience of private sector onboarding in an online consultation prior to the eInvoicing Open Session on 24 November. The second group of eArchiving specifications and supporting guidelines is now also open for review.

Do you have a story to tell us about how you are Connecting Europe? Just reply to this email and be featured in our next newsletter.

Success Stories / Policy

eArchiving helps Swedish Customs preserve their records

The CEF eArchiving Building Block provides Swedish Customs officials with a cost-effective, long-term solution for digitally recording all of their data, from custom duties to records of international traffic.

The Once Only Initiative - a stepping stone to Europe's recovery

As more and more public services move online in response to the pandemic, the Once Only Principle will ensure citizens only have to share their data once to access various online cross-border public services, making life easier for everybody in the 'new normal'.

The Digital Innovation Challenge finalists showcase brand new digital services

The three finalists of the Digital Innovation Challenge, Open Content, CleverBooks and Latitudo40, talks us through their platforms, based on CEF Building Blocks and ISA² solutions, which can bring unique digital public services to EU citizens. Recordings are now live.
