Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – section 2 – paragraph 4
Annex 1 – section 2 – paragraph 4
Rural and low density areas are typically served with low or medium speed connections and in some cases even not served at all. The business case for investment is unlikely to be viable and the European targets are unlikely to be reached by 2020. Investment in these areas needs higher financial support, provided by grants, possibly in combination with financial instruments. Such areas will include rural, remote and sparsely populated regions where investment costs are either very high or where income is low. The support from the Connecting Europe Facility in these areas is likely to complement available cohesion funds or rural development and other direct public support.

This support should complement other funds, whether EU or national, available for this purpose.

Annex 1 – section 3 – paragraph 4
The infrastructure will be based on the existing Internet backbone and where necessary new networks will be deployed. Connections will be made directly or through locally, regionally- or nationally- managed infrastructures. In particular it will provide connectivity for other trans- European services inter alia those mentioned in this Annex. This infrastructure will be fully integrated in the Internet as a key capacity for trans- European public service and will support the adoption of emerging standards (e.g. Internet protocols such as IPv6). Dedicated underlying infrastructure for connecting public administrations may be considered if necessary for security reasons.
Amendment 271 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – section 3 – paragraph 8
Annex 1 – section 3 – paragraph 8
A set of connected and secured authentication servers and protocols that ensure interoperability of the variety of authentication and identification and authorization systems that exist in Europe will be deployed. This platform will enable citizens and businesses to access online services when needed for example to study, work, travel, get health care or do business abroad. It will constitute the core layer for all those digital services for which electronic identification and authentication are needed: e.g. electronic procurement, online health services, standardised business reporting, electronic exchange of judicial information, trans-European online company registration, e-Government services for individuals and businesses, including communication between business registers relating to cross-border mergers and foreign branches. This platform may also use resources and tools of the multilingual core platform.

Annex 1 – section 3 – paragraph 9 – point b a (new)
(ba) Cross border interoperable electronic invoicing services: contribute to the achievement of the single market and result in major benefits such as shorter payment periods, fewer errors more efficient VAT collection, lower printing and postage costs and business integrated processing; interoperability of e-invoicing solutions provides trading parties with the ability in practice to exchange e-invoices across multiple technologies and organisational boundaries, based on common legal requirements, business processes and technical standards; by virtue of the close link between invoices and payments, it is important to embed e- invoicing in the wider context of an integrated electronic payments market..
