11Key benefits of eDelivery pilot
1. Reach. Pilot countries connected to the global Peppol eDelivery Network, which enables the exchange of
procurement data with any member of the Network. Currently, there are members from more than 30 countries
worldwide
2. Interoperability. Tested the enablement of interoperability across borders
3. Applicability. eDelivery Building block can be a trusted and secure channel for data exchange in any sector.
Therefore, the obtained knowledge on the solution can be reused and applied in other domains as well (e.g. Justice,
Public & Governmental, etc.)
Feedback from pilot participants
100 %
of the of the pilot participants, who provided the
“more efficient way of cooperation”
“if enabled in full scale, the potential to save time, money
and resources”
feedback on pilot activity noted that they would
be willing to continue using eDelivery for the “ready-to-use technological solution for public
exchange of invoices instead of a current
process
procurement purposes”
12Way forward with eDelivery
Next steps:
1. Most of the Eastern partner countries already expressed their readiness and willingness to test & implement
eDelivery (completed)
2. It is foreseen that in the coming month European Commission will issue an official recommendation to rollout
eDelivery as a successfully tested concept for data exchange
3. Further, based on willingness the discussion between EU Delegations and interested Eastern partner countries
will be initiated to discuss next steps and potential support opportunities
4. In a long run, it is aimed that the eDelivery Access points are established in all Eastern partner countries for the
procurement data exchange (e.g. invoices, catalogues, orders, etc.)
5. Further, the use of eDelivery could be considered in other domains and possibilities to introduce additional CEF
Building Blocks to Eastern partner countries could be explored
Examples of potential eDelivery use cases:
1. Electronic Exchange of Social Security Information system (data on illness, pensions, unemployment, etc.)
2. Online Dispute Resolution (platform to exchange data and solve issues between consumers and traders)
Examples of other Building Blocks: Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI), European Blockchain Services Infrastructure
(EBSI), eArchiving, etc.

Piloted customs information Recommendations for full scale SEED
exchange solution implementationCurrent progress
EU-EaP pilot: Belarus and Lithuania
Overview: facilitated customs-to-customs data exchange and introduced more advanced customs risk management
processes
Scope of functionalities selected and piloted:
• Scenario 1: Empty Trucks (freight means of transport)
• Scenario 2: Exchange of exit data from export declarations (limited data set)
• Scenario 3: Full declaration data set from the export declarations for volunteers
Needs covered for:
• Secure and automated links for structured real-time exchange of customs-related information to verify accuracy
of information and match data on the spot (at BCP) in order to identify inconsistencies
• Reliable and timely information for improved risk management and assessment
• improved handling of high traffic flow
Inter-EaP pilot: TBC
Discussions regarding the inter-EaP eCustoms pilot pair is still ongoing and decision hasn‘t been made yetUpcoming activities 1. Ongoing eCustoms pilot between Belarus and Lithuania is being finalized and recommendations on further enablement of data exchange via SEED solution will be prepared by July 2021 2. After the completion of the pilot activity the tested SEED solution will be transferred for the further use and development of the pilot countries 3. Discussion on inter-EaP pilot pair is ongoing and once confirmed, the preparatory activities for pilot implementation will be initiated 4. Further, the possibilities to rollout the use of the SEED solution in all Eastern partner countries to enable efficient exchange of customs data across borders will be considered

Page 19Digital Transport Corridor (DTC) concept in EU4Digital
1. Established as a federated network of platforms in the Eastern partner countries. It should support information
exchange among participating countries while providing different types of services.
2. Developed on the planned extensions of TEN-T to Eastern partner countries. The EU4Digital concept for a corridor
between the Baltic Sea – Black Sea complements the extension of North Sea – Baltic TEN-T corridor.
3. Built in accordance with the EU existing requirements (DTLF, eFTI) and ongoingly adapted based on new
specifications.
4. Built on National eLogistics Systems (NeLS) as core components. NeLS are central national platforms facilitating
provision of information for authorities and cross-border exchange. NeLS shall perform as eFTI platforms in the long term.
5. Established and tested through multiple Living Labs initiated based on priority logistic documents in Eastern partner
countries (data not documents to be exchanged).
6. Connected with the EU; no central platform development is planned in EU MSs (i.e. Lithuania), the connection is
planned with existing government or private systems.

Page 24eCommerce pilot Pilot tests a digital solution supporting retailers, marketplaces, delivery operators and customs to place products for sale abroad and complete cross-border delivery Overview: set up national virtual warehouses as standardised digital catalogues of local goods, which facilitate automated exchange of information about sales, delivery and customs Countries covered: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Germany + 192 countries of the UPU Impact: helping to place goods for sales abroad, strengthening eCommerce ecosystem and increasing eCommerce volumes Participating sellers: ▪ AZ: ISAR Group (handcrafted wooden accessories), supported by national marketplace Azexport ▪ GE: women-led businesses RKO (children’s clothing) and Funduki (eco-friendly housewarming gifts) ▪ AM: Zeal Socks (socks), supported by the national post Page 25
eCommerce pilot: virtual warehouse – what is it?
Pain points for sellers
• Lack of knowledge and resources to sell online, especially cross-border.
• High cost to enter cross-border markets – adjust to different requirements of marketplaces, delivery services.
• Need to input additional data for different actors for complicated export procedures.
Seller in the EaP country Virtual warehouse Marketplace in the EU Post in the EaP Post in the EU End buyer
(other EaP country) (other EaP country)
Pilot solution: virtual warehouse / digital catalogue of local goods to place goods for sales abroad in the
EU and the EaP markets. The solution provides a single place for sellers to enter data needed by customs and
delivery businesses for cross-border eCommerce.
Page 26 26Key benefits of the eCommerce virtual warehouse
1. List products on different marketplaces at the same time.
2. Manage product data in one place.
3. Facilitate the exchange of product data between eCommerce actors creating a seamless and
standardised data exchange process.
4. Faster delivery as the exchange of product data is instant.
5. Eliminate intermediaries along the product placing and delivery process as all the necessary data is
exchanged directly between the actors.

Page 27Way forward with eCommerce pilot
By June 2021 by EU4Digital Facility:
▪ Conclude the final recommendations to adopt the piloted solution in production as well as scale-up.
▪ Handover the solution and the technical documentation to the beneficiaries.
How the Eastern partner countries can implement the piloted solution technically?
▪ EU4Digital with the pilot countries raised awareness of the new ways of digital eCommerce as we
tested with an MVP in real environment how the solution supports digital exchange of eCommerce data
from technical and organisational perspectives.
▪ After the pilot, EU4Digital will issue technical documentation and recommendations on how the solution
should be installed and enhanced to be used full-scale for eCommerce facilitation.
▪ Eastern partner countries should consider taking proactive actions to initiate implementation and scale
up of the solution.
▪ The next steps to support the countries after the pilot are to be discussed and considered on a bilateral
level.
