Statement: E-invoicing: European Parliament backs Commission proposal to eliminate barriers to cross-border public procurement

On the 11 March 2014, the European Parliament backed with a substantial majority the European Commission's proposal to modernise EU rules on e-invoicing in public procurement.

The approval by the European Parliament of the compromise agreement reached with the Council in January of this year brings enterprises and public authorities in Europe one step closer to seeing the benefits of this Directive become reality.
