B2G e-Invoicing
According to Directive 2014/55/EU, all European public administrations must be able to receive electronic invoices.
B2G e-Invoicing compliance in Europe
According to Directive 2014/55/EU, all European public administrations had to receive electronic invoices beginning April 18, 2019. The project on e-Invoicing in the European Union is part of the Digital Agenda and integrates the strategies of the European Single Market. The main objective is to achieve a competitive market that boosts interoperability and trade between companies.
European standard
CEN has approved two standards to be used in any European electronic communication:
CEFACT/UN invoice XML message.
Invoice and credit note UBL messages.
Legal framework
Directive 2014/55/EU regulates electronic invoicing in public procurement and aims to guarantee the origin and authenticity of electronic documents. Each EU member state must develop its own implementation of the standard to adapt the e-Invoicing model to its legislative framework.
Implementation timeline
April 18, 2019: Deadline for public administrations to receive and process electronic invoices.
April 18, 2020: The deadline was extended to this date in the case of federal agencies.

The PEPPOL network
PEPPOL is the acronym for Pan European Public Procurement Online. It is an electronic communication system designed to facilitate public procurement between companies and administrations, regardless of their location or the internal or accounting systems used. It is a common and interoperable standard, essential for the development of cross-border e-procurement.
The use of the PEPPOL network is used increasingly in both the public and private spheres as an accessible, interoperable model through which any company can participate in cross-border public procurement processes.
Authenticity and integrity of your invoices in Europe
The European eIDAS regulation (Regulation 910/2014) establishes a legal framework for electronic identification mechanisms.
Thanks to EDICOM's certification as a qualified trust service provider, we provide electronic transactions with trust mechanisms that guarantee authenticity and integrity:
Recognized electronic signature, long-term e-storage with legal value, electronic chronological validation.
