Welcome and introduction CEN WS/BII2

Stuart Feder, CEN WS/BII2 Chair 4

CEN WS/BII2

Thanks so very much to everyone for coming to this open seminar concerning business interoperability interfaces for public procurement in Europe.

It is – for the moment at least - the final event of the European committee for standardization’s workshop on this theme. We are, of course, most likely to be familiar to you all as simply: CEN WS/BII2.

Let me also mention at the outset that we are most fortunate to have a number of distinguished speakers and panelists who have kindly agreed to join us today and we are most grateful for their participation. They will be providing important perspectives on the issues being taken up on today’s program: from the standpoints of the European commission, from the user community and also from the international standards community.

CEN WS/BII2

You will, of course, also be hearing a good deal from our team leaders about their work during phase 2 of BII and from our vice chairs about a proposed continuation of these efforts as phase 3.

Phase 2 started in May 2010 (32 months ago) and, as can often be the case, some of that time we had to go forward rather steadily and patiently step-by-step as we awaited funding processes to be completed.

Most importantly, in the end, we believe we have over the past many months done what we set out to do and have done it on a reasonably timely basis. These achievements are entirely due to the considerable competencies and effectiveness of the members of the BII2 team – working as a team – under the guidance of their project leaders and the vice chairs.

So as chair, let me take this opportunity to offer my congratulations for their efforts and I would ask you all to please join me in a round of applause for the “BII2 team”.

CEN WS/BII2

Gaining consensus on common approaches for regional developments is a considerable challenge in its own right – no matter what the theme – and it is something essential in the European context in terms of fostering the concept of a single market. The tasks have been performed in a way that should make it easy to be contributed to efforts in an international context - so that requirements and solutions can evolve to benefit those with these requirements around the world (making it also easier to interface with European requirements). Moreover, it also enables input to be brought back to Europe from the global standards community, which may then be given consideration in due course for Europe.

CEN WS/BII2

One thing one learns in standards work is that requirements are always changing (sometimes a little and sometimes a lot, for example, within a country or a region or a business domain) and that the way to achieve solutions is also ever-changing. But one thing that is likely to be increasingly stable is the set of re-usable core semantics and re-usable core models.

Moreover, capturing these changes and alternative developments – most likely in terms of implementation guidelines and self-conformance statements, in a central place (or registry) may be a good way to foster greater transparency about how things are evolving and how they might serve as alternative approaches on the road to possibly greater efficiency in meeting stakeholder requirements.

We’ll come back to this theme a bit later in the day.

So for now, let me thank you again for joining us and let me turn over the floor to vice chair Jostein Frømyr who will be taking things forward until later this afternoon.

Thank you.

Antonio Conte, European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry

Overview of the EC policy in the field of eProcurement, with a ‘post-award perspective’: the work of the eInvoicing multi-stakeholder Forum.

The Work of the European Multi-stakeholder Forum on e-Invoicing

Open Seminar "Spreading Interoperability in e-Procurement processes across Europe" Brussels, 6 December 2012

Antonio Conte Unit E4 "Key Enabling Technologies and ICT" DG Enterprise and Industry – European Commission

Major developments over the last year

- Growing political support to the deployment of e invoicing - Mobilisation in almost all EU countries thanks to the establishment of National Fora - Good progress of the European Multi-stakeholder Forum on e-Invoicing 11

DG ENTR's paper on e-invoicing standardisation: overview, issues and conclusions for future actions

• Informal consultation of all relevant EU and International standardization organizations (CEN, ISO,OASIS, UN/CEFACT, GS1) • Outstanding standardization issues are identified • Outlines potential future actions 12

National Multi-stakeholder Fora on e-Invoicing

All EU countries have set up National Fora except Bulgaria, Greece, Lithuania, Malta and Romania (in progress).

• Role • Raising acceptance of e-invoicing • Coordinate initiatives (legal, technical, etc.) • Composition • Balanced representation of stakeholders (e.g. public administrations, enterprises, financial organisations, service providers, standardisation bodies, consumers) • To ensure a balanced representation in the European Forum, the Commission encourages the National Fora to appoint a representative from the public sector and a representative from the private sector 13

European Multi-stakeholder Forum on e-Invoicing

• Role • Address remaining barriers which prevent the exchange of e-invoices across EU • Share experiences and good practices • Monitor e-invoicing adoption • Composition • Representatives of National Fora • European associations from the “user side”: SMEs, large corporate, and users • European organizations and associations : CEN, ECB, Article 29 Working Party • Observers from the "supply side" (bank associations, service provider association) and acceding country (Croatia) • Organization of work • 4 Activity Groups • 2 meetings per year (next meeting : March 2013) • First deliverables adopted in September 2013 14

•

EU Forum: First results of Activity Groups

Monitoring the e-invoicing uptake at Member States and EU level - Leader: P. Breyne (BE)

• Collaboration with EUROSTAT to improve the statistical monitoring on e-invoicing (new questions on e-invoicing will be integrated to the 2014 questionnaire on "ICT usage in enterprises") • The objective is to be able to collect "quantitative" information on the % of e-invoices (structured and unstructured) sent and received •

Exchange of experiences and good practices - Leaders: C. Bryant and N. Taylor (UK)

• A public consultation identified the main drivers of e-invoicing: the critical role of government policy and service providers • National Fora are expected to discuss/react to the results of the consultation 15

• •

EU Forum: First results of Activity Groups

Propose appropriate solutions for remaining cross-border barriers - Leader: S. Engel-Flechsig (DE)

• No specific legal issue blocking cross-border e-invoicing has been identified but different legal systems in EU Member States bring additional complexity in particular as regards archiving, accounting, data protection and e-signatures.

• National situation will be further explored and notably the transposition of the VAT Directive

Migration towards a single e-invoice data model - Leader: P. Potgieser (CEN)

• The migration does not appear feasible in the short/medium term • The groups is investigating the production of a semantic reference model for the "core" components of an invoice • A glossary of definitions for e-invoicing was prepared 16

E-invoicing in public procurement

• Single Market Act II (October 2012) with 12 key actions including

"Make electronic invoicing the standard invoicing mode for public procurement"

• Legislative proposal expected in 2Q13 • Public consultation ongoing (until 23/01/2013) to gather information on the existing use of e-invoicing and opinions on the planned launch of an EU initiative in this area. http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/consultations/2012/einvoicin g_en.htm

   

Focuses on providing support for processes of purchase of goods Initial scope is public procurement within EU

 Applies as well to B2B scenarios

Most popular profiles from previous workshop have been updated

 Focus on flexibility by increasing number of single document profiles

CEN BII-1 results also availible to implementers

  

The road ahead

BII3    Further refinement of requirements and information models Clarification and support for implementers CEN TC – eInvoicing datamodel standard (to be discussed) Implementers - Quick pick up in market is expected of:  Ordering profiles   Statement and dispatch profiles (single document profiles) Updated eInvoice Only profile National policies   Growing number of regional and national governments will base their eInvoicing effort on BII Already a substantial number 06.12.2012

CEN BII2 72

 

Why do we focus on small documents

The market for electronic procurement is an example of “the long tail” phenomena By lowering the Cut-Off point, solutions will become economically feasible to implement in the long tail

Number of documents exchanged with each customer

06.12.2012

Cut-off point!

BII will lower the Cut-Off point 73

Conformance vs. interoperability

   

BII provides a framework for setting up national or regional eInvoicing or eProcurement policy Our conformance model provides flexibility within a framework that provides interoperability We strike a balance

  Definition of Conformance is key Use of extension methodology

Key to wider dissemination

06.12.2012

CEN BII2 74

Benefits for users

    For senders  Conformant documents can be received by all For receivers  Can be used as basis for an EDI agreement  Single semi-automated process can be set up for handling of documents from wide variety of trading partner (in the long tail) For implementers  Guidelines and tools to support implementers For governments   All invoices can be moved to electronic form A Fast Track starter kit to implementing a national eInvoicing policy 06.12.2012

Issues to resolve

Service Providers

Large buyers tend to work with a single Service Provider. Government require an open standards based system suitable for eProcurement.

Suppliers do not understand the benefits and may be forced to use more than one Service Provider.

Compliance

Pilot is run in compliance with existing and new VAT Legislation IE MSF requirement to implement standards based on CEN EU Core Invoice – UN/CEFACT.

The system needs to be open and transparent Facilitate the use of business controls as defined by eINV3 CEN CWA to satisfy the Integrity and Authenticity of all Invoices.

Experiences

PEPPOL

Providing transport infrastructure to link existing services providers.

Providing Governance to assure fair play among users.

CEN BII

Standardised documents Aligned to various business processes Assuring interoperability between Service Provider systems

Service Providers

Provide conformness to Data protection and Archiving rules as required by law.

Provide the last mile to both Buyers and Suppliers – maximising on boarding.

Provide added value services to maximise benefit and innovation

Fallback

Experienced ICT Companies used.

14 other Countries already involved who are willing to share experiences also.

Benefits

Buyer and Seller can select their preferred pre-approved Service Provider.

- Some solutions are free.

- Added value services cost more but return more.

Studies suggest many implementations have an ROI of less than 1 year

However

System Setup will require resources and should be factored (on-boarding focus).

Higher costs depend on whether you require a project or an add-on module.

Road map

Current

Announcement by Minister responsible of commitment to PEPPOL based on successful pilot demonstration.

All Public Bodies should prepare to accept eInvoicing as soon as possible.

Date set to mandate e-invoices for all public sector using PEPPOL 2016

Roll out

Specify dates of acceptance by all Public Bodies starting from Jan 2013 – announcement due soon..

Future

Dissemination for awareness among all stakeholders Include documents such as Purchase Orders.

Investigate ePrior further.

Investigate setting up as a PEPPOL Authority.

PEPPOL and Open PEPPOL CEN WS/BII2

Andre Hoddevik, Project Director of PEPPOL, Secretary General of OpenPEPPOL Anders Kingstedt, OpenPEPPOL Post-award Community Coordinator

PEPPOL has had a close relationship with CEN/BII, using a wide range of profiles both in pre- and post-award, and providing useful feed-back for the evolution of CEN/BII deliverables. OpenPEPPOL will evolve the PEPPOL results, and continue to have a close relationship with CEN/BII, especially in the field of post-award .

The eProcurement landscape

Fragmented eProcurement market driven by various groups

developing industry or country specific solutions

Low levels of government involvement

, usage, or legislative incentives

KEY CHALLENGES Closed networks, locked-in solutions and lack of interoperability,

resulting in “islands of eProcurement”

Multitude of standards and formats

, resulting in need for conversion and increased cost and complexity

Lack of coordinated vision

between all participants - private and public

Belief that wide-scale standardisation ‘will never happen’

- reminiscent of the pre-Internet period

Lack of focus on the big picture: the complete purchase-to-pay process

resulting in single process oriented solutions PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL

The PEPPOL Vision

The PEPPOL vision

is:

“To enable businesses to communicate electronically with any European government institution in the procurement process, increasing efficiencies and reducing costs

.”

The PEPPOL project (2008-2012) was launched to address the key eProcurement challenges in Europe. It has been jointly funded by the EC and a consortium of 18 government agencies from 11 member states

PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL

PEPPOL Components: focus on the critical phases PEPPOL Pre-award focus

: eAttestation (VCD), eCatalogues, eSignature validation, potential use of PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure

PEPPOL Post-award focus

: eCatalogues, eOrdering, eInvoicing and Transport Infrastructure. Potential use of eSignature validation and eAttestations PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL

PEPPOL Benefits

Connect once and communicate with everyone

no roaming fees between APs already connected to the PEPPOL network, using a single Access Point (APs) and entering into only one agreement (PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure Agreements – PEPPOL TIA) - with

PEPPOL reduces the cost and complexity of implementing eProcurement solutions based on one set of standard specifications and guidelines

(PEPPOL BIS)

that can be used across Europe, instead of adapting to a multitude of formats

PEPPOL facilitates supplier access to a wider eProcurement market

across borders

, by removing cross-border barriers, providing opportunities for greater competition and lowering buyers’ sourcing costs Widespread PEPPOL adoption creates significant demand for more advanced IT solutions and services.

IT service and solution providers have the opportunity to access new markets by offering PEPPOL enabled solutions

across Europe PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL

Building the PEPPOL community Network Effect

: Evolution of active Access Points and PEPPOL BIS enabled platforms for eCatalogues, eOrders and eInvoices deployed by various Providers in Europe (status on 31.08.2012)

Countries with PEPPOL activity: Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Italy, France, Greece, UK, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Ireland

Encourage European governments

and their suppliers to continue

implementing eProcurement using the PEPPOL specifications

, promoting best practices

Ensure that the PEPPOL network continues to grow in an open, accessible and compliant manner

, supporting interoperability for European public services and helping Europe move towards a Digital Single Market Encourage the development of

innovative PEPPOL-based ICT products

and services supporting public procurement processes, fostering their use also in the B2B context * OpenPEPPOL is an international non-profit organisation under Belgian law founded by former PEPPOL consortium partners, with membership open to public and private organisations.

OpenPEPPOL recommendations for CEN WS BII

PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL

Background – EC Roadmap and Actions EC Roadmap for electronic invoicing in public procurement:

Main problem to be addressed:

Multiple Standards imposed by Member States.

Policy approach considered as the most effective:

Legislative Act

possibility of making e-invoicing mandatory in public procurement, mandating the use of specific standards to ensure interoperability.

Single Market Act II

– Key Action 10: “

Make electronic invoicing the standard invoicing mode for public procurement.

” The introduction of legislative measures making e-invoicing a standard practice in public procurement will

make the public sector a 'lead market' for e-invoicing

and spearhead its wider use in the economy

A Strategy for e-Procurement:

“

Support the deployment of e-procurement infrastructure, ensuring

support for the sustainability of the PEPPOL components from mid-2012

” PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL

OpenPEPPOL recommendations to BII

OpenPEPPOL supports the establishment of BII3 Further development of pre-award profiles to be prioritised OpenPEPPOL recommends that BII CWAs on e-invoicing are handed over to a relevant CEN Technical Committee (TC) as basis for establishment of a European norm for e invoicing The process for establishing a new TC or – preferably – identifying a relevant existing TC should be initiated ASAP The BII-based European norm for e-invoicing should be referenced in the forthcoming legislative measures making e-invoicing a standard practice in public procurement Page 150 PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL
