26、-2:2017 (E) 4 Introduction The European Commission states that “The mass adoption of e-invoicing within the EU would lead to significant economic benefits and it is estimated that moving from paper to e-invoices will generate savings of around EUR 240 billion over a six-year period” 3. Based on this
27、 recognition “The Commission wants to see e-invoicing become the predominant method of invoicing by 2020 in Europe.” As a means to achieve this goal, Directive 2014/55/EU 2 on electronic invoicing in public procurement aims at facilitating the use of electronic invoices by economic operators when su
28、pplying goods, works and services to the public administration (B2G) as well as support for the trading between economic operators themselves (B2B). In particular, it sets out the legal framework for the establishment and adoption of a European standard (EN) for the semantic data model of the core e
29、lements of an electronic invoice (EN 16931-1:2017). The core invoice model as described in EN 16931-1:2017 is based on the proposition that a limited, but sufficient set of information elements can be defined that supports generally applicable invoice-related functionalities. In line with Directive
30、2014/55/EU 2, and after publication of the reference to EN 16931-1:2017 in the Official Journal of the European Union, all contracting public authorities and contracting entities in the EU will be obliged to receive and process an e-invoice as long as: it is in conformance with the semantic content
31、as described in EN 16931-1:2017; it is represented in any of the syntaxes identified in CEN/TS 16931-2, in accordance with the request referred to in paragraph 1 of article 3 of the Directive 2014/55/EU; it is in conformance with the appropriate mapping defined in the applicable subpart of CEN/TS 16
32、931-3. This CEN Technical Specification provides the conclusions following the assessment of the following four syntaxes: UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice XML message as specified in XML Schemas 16B (SCRDM - CII); UN/EDIFACT INVOIC message as present in the United Nations rules for Electronic Data I
33、nterchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) 8 directory version D.14B 10; UBL invoice and credit note messages as defined in ISO/IEC 19845:2015; Financial Invoice FinancialInvoiceV01 message 9 based on ISO 20022. The assessment was based on the criteria provided by the Standar
34、dization Request 1 issued in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 of Directive 2014/55/EU 2. EN 16931-1:2017 and its ancillary standardization deliverables will enable semantic interoperability of electronic invoices, and help remove market barriers and obstacles to trade deriving from the ex
35、istence of different national rules and standards and thus contributing to the goals set by the European Commission. PD CEN/TS 169312:2017CEN/TS 16931-2:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification provides in Clause 7 the list of syntaxes that complies with and allows to express syntactically th
36、e core invoice model as specified in EN 16931-1:2017, according to the selection criteria provided by the Standardization Request 1. The selection of the syntaxes also derived from the Standardization Request 1. It states that, to limit costs on public authorities, the list should ideally not exceed
37、 five syntaxes. Four syntaxes were taken into account and assessed according to criteria provided by the Standardization Request 1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated re
38、ferences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

40、e core elements of an electronic invoice. The purpose of the core semantic invoice model is to facilitate computer applications to generate electronic invoices and then for other applications to receive and process those invoices automatically. These electronic invoices are electronically transmitte
41、d and received, without the need for prior bilateral agreement on the content or elements of the invoice. However, in order to exchange electronic invoices, the model elements need to be represented in a “syntax”. A syntax specification allows the computer systems to identify the content (element va
42、lues) as part of a data stream. CEN/TC 434 identified a short list of syntaxes based on the syntaxes mentioned in the Standardization Request 1: UN/CEFACT XML, UN/EDIFACT 8, OASIS UBL, and Financial Invoice (based on ISO 20022) 9. Table 1 shows the technology stack of the four syntaxes and respectiv
