Celtrino participated in a pan-European electronic invoicing project from January 2018 to June 2019. The project aimed to upgrade 10 e-invoicing solutions providers, including Celtrino, to comply with Directive 2014/55/EU, which defines a common European standard for e-invoicing. The directive mandates adoption of the standard by public sector buyers in Europe and provides benefits to suppliers such as increased productivity, reduced costs, and an expanded trading partner network. Celtrino worked with the project coordinators to adapt its digital infrastructure to support the standard's semantic and syntactic specifications.

The objective of the
Project is to upgrade
10 e-invoicing
solutions providers, to
comply with the
European Standard on
e-invoicing, Directive
2014/55/EU.

4. What is Directive
2014/55/EU?
The European Parliament and Council voted
on the 16th of April 2014 for the Directive
2014/55/EU on e-invoicing in public
procurement.
The Directive calls for the definition of a
common European e-invoicing standard.
This includes at semantic level, which is the essential information
contained in the invoice; as well as a list of syntaxes which outlines
the format or language used for transmission of the invoice.

5. Who does the
Directive affect?
Since, April 2019 the adoption of the
Directive has been mandatory for
European public sector buyers
Ec.Europa.eu
It is not yet mandatory for suppliers, however it has
numerous benefits for them.
However for sub-central government
agencies, individual member states
have had the option to extend the
deadline until April 2020.

6. Key Aspects of the Directive
The European Standard defines the core
elements of an e-invoice, their meaning,
and how they should be used, in a
semantic data model.
The syntaxes supported are the UBL 2.1 Invoice message and the
UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice (CII) message.
The semantic data model, can be bound
to a message syntax (technical structure)
in order to create messages that can be
exchanged and automatically processed.

7. Celtrino was selected by the INEA to take
part in the project as one of 10 European
e-invoicing solutions providers.
How Celtrino Complies
with the Directive
Celtrino has received part-funding from
the CEF to upgrade and adapt our digital
service infrastructure to support the
Standard, both in terms of document
meaning (semantics)
and the layout of
Data (syntax).
