e-Government and e-Invoicing – the focus of the GS1 in Europe Regional Forum



 

The President of BCCI and President of the GS1 Bulgaria Council with BCCI Tsvetan Simeonov announced that during the second plenary day of the GS1 in Europe Regional Forum the emphasis was placed on e-Government and e-Invoicing. At today’s session good practices from the application of GS1 standards in the public sectors of Romania, Denmark and Austria were shared. 
 
Since 2005 the public sector in Denmark has been issuing electronic invoices. In this regard, companies were given GS1 GLNs. The Austrian public authority also decided to use GLNs for electronic data interchange in the public sector. In Romania e-Invoicing will be used to facilitate VAT recovery to companies. The attitude of the governments of the three countries towards the international standards GS1 and the use of GLNs for identification of companies is extremely positive. GLNs are unique, universally valid and functional, facilitate international economic exchange by allowing companies to be unambiguously identified by their international partners, and ease communication between companies. Using global standards for identification, communication and description of processes may be compared to using a unified language. 
 
It is a fact that the BULSTAT number has been successfully used in Bulgaria to identify companies. It is unique, but only nationally recognized and its opportunities are relatively limited. According to Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov, it is high time to start using an international identification number such as the GLN. In addition to identifying the company as a legal entity, it allows for the identification of physical locations as well – e.g. offices of the company, its manufacturing or warehouse facilities, loading platforms, etc., all the way to the storage unit level. 
 
The governments of Denmark, Austria and Romania are certain that the GLNs will be successfully implemented in the public sector. This is an important step towards creating e-Government. According to Tsvetan Simeonov, together with e-Invoicing, as proven by the facts and data announced at the forum, this will lead to:
 
• Higher collection of companies’ liabilities towards the state;
• Curbing corruption in the public sector;
• Reduction of costs by switching from paper to electronic documents, when e-Invoices are introduced in public institutions. 
 
Upon the return of the delegation from the forum, the information will be submitted to the respective competent authorities. BCCI will organize meetings with the responsible governmental institutions to discuss the possibility to further improve the quality of services provided by our public administration by using the GS1 standards.
