Extract from the Final Report of the Expert Group on eInvoicing

November 2009

Europe is facing major challenges in the coming years as its enterprises and public sector need to become both significantly more productive and environmentally friendly. These needs are accentuated by the relative decline of population of working age and at the same time the growing demand for human resources in health and care sectors. It is more than obvious that very concrete, determined and widely impacting efforts have to be initiated to improve the competitiveness of European economies.

This report of the European Commission Expert Group on e-invoicing proposes the European Electronic Invoicing Framework (EEIF) as called for in the Terms of Reference created by the European Commission when the Group was established in late 2007.The EEIF is expected to establish a common conceptual structure, including business requirements and standard(s), and propose solutions supporting the provision of e-invoicing
services in an open and interoperable manner across Europe.
