We believe this marks a significant step forward in rationalizing the various non-standard activities currently being promoted for electronic invoicing. The Directive requires ?... a list with a limited number of syntaxes which comply with the European standard on electronic invoicing. That list should not form part of the European standard on electronic invoicing. The identified syntaxes must already be widely and successfully used by economic operators and contracting authorities.? Therefore, it would appear likely that the work of the CEN BII Workshop will be a key foundation on which to develop the European standard for electronic invoicing and that OASIS UBL be one of the syntaxes identified. The combination of BII semantics and UBL syntax has been successful in many government electronic invoicing programmes such as OIOUBL (Denmark), EHF (Norway), Svefaktura (Sweden), eFatura (Turkey), PEPPOL (Pan-European) and the European Commission?s own e-PRIOR platform as well as private sector initiatives such eBiz-TCF, Tradeshift and SimplerInvoicing. We see the new Directive as accelerating the momentum around these programmes on the expectation that whatever the eventual European standard contains it will support the BII community and be mapped to the UBL Invoice schema. The strategy of the public sector formalizing common invoicing information elements as a standard and then complementing this with recognized formats fits well into a technology neutral, market-driven approach to interoperability. It can be summarized as ?de-jure standards for semantics and de-facto standards for syntax?. This approach provides a long term solution that should enable development of a range of commercial viable solutions that have market adoption and achieve the critical mass of usage that realize the significant benefits identified in using electronic invoices. Inevitably this public sector policy will spill out into the private sector as well. Many of the suppliers to the public sector are established eBusiness organizations, typically using electronic invoice Service Providers. This means that the EESPA (European E-Invoicing Service Providers Association) Model Interoperability Agreement (also based on BII and UBL) will become an important complement the Directive, ensuring that the private sector requirements for electronic invoices are supported as well. While this Directive is a European public policy it also has significance beyond Europe. Governments in other regions are also considering their policies in this area and, recognizing that many pubic sector suppliers are global organizations, will hopefully take into consideration the strategy taken by the EU.

Can anyone host this conference? http://ublconference.com or http://ublconference.org - perhaps an event in North America and in Europe in 2014 - Washington DC, Burlington MA (OASIS)? - http://www.exchange-summit.com/ - Barcelona - October 2014 - BII - Paris in June? Frankfurt in September? - Beijing June 2014 (JTC 1 SC32)? - how about a Twitter feed of UBL adoption and announcements? - what subject matter issues need to be addressed? - more transportation co-ordination issues - communications with transportation regulatory organizations - what technical issues need to be addressed? - are any schema changes needed? - what educational materials need to be made available? - how about YouTube videos regarding access to the UBL package?
