CEN ISSS workshop e-invoicing Ca Brussels 19 June 2008 Without Notes[1][1]

Costas Andropoulos of the European Commission's DG Enterprise and Industry gave a presentation on e-invoicing perspectives. He discussed how e-invoicing can simplify business processes and reduce costs, but that obstacles remain to a pan-European system. An Expert Group on e-Invoicing was formed to identify issues and propose a European e-Invoicing Framework. The Expert Group includes representatives from various stakeholders and has formed subgroups on legal framework, business requirements, and standards. The expected end result is a European e-Invoicing Framework that achieves interoperability and increases incentives for electronic trade.
