The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in Brussels has launched an e-Procurement framework to connect public organizations and private companies in the European Community. This will lead to increased e-commerce within the European Union and lower costs. Brussels (14 January 2010) – The new CEN Workshop Agreement on ‘Business Interoperability Interfaces’ (BII), was published today. It streamlines the processes in the supplier exchange and will have a huge impact on procurement in Europe. e-Business and e-Procurement are high on the political agenda of the European Union. The European Commission made the development of an e-Procurement framework a top priority in both the 2002 and the 2005 eEurope Action Plans. The Manchester Declaration states that by 2010 all public institutions must have the capability to carry out 100 % of their procurement electronically. “The support of the European Commission and European governments makes this the right time to invest in e-Procurement", said Peter Borresen, chairman of the CEN Workshop. This integration requires precisely defined interfaces on both sides. Besides the technical requirements, the semantics and the business part of the transaction have to be agreed upon. In this context, different jurisdiction regions, which might constitute an obstacle when moving towards a free and open European Market, have to be considered as well. Adding to the challenge are different interpretations of the EU Directive concerning electronic business. All of this calls for a clear definition and understanding of the business rules for e-Procurement. The new e-Procurement framework supports cross border transactions, a very important asset of the European Union. Trading transactions within the community form the major share of all import and export transactions in all the member states. It is therefore important that those trading transactions are supported by cross border integration of the IT systems used by the partners involved. |
