A new website www.roseslovenia.eu was developed and the website www.slovenskieracun.si was updated for providing support and useful information to the public service providers in carrying out their upcoming responsibility to receive eInvoice when sent in European standard. The website will be regularly updated as it tracks developments of “Readiness Of Slovenian E-invoicing (ROSE)” Action, whose implementation is under way and supported by the European Union.
The Action implementers – representatives of Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, Centre for European Perspective, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, Mojdenar IT and ZZI gathered on 31 August 2017 at 3rd Steering Board meeting, reviewed accomplishments and planned tasks and approved presented website.
Among important issues of the Steering Board meeting was also, a decision to start with intensive preparation of the national conference titled “Will we be ready for EU standard for eInvoice” which will take place on 22 September 2017 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
OBJAVA SPLETNE STRANI ZA ROSE – “Readiness Of Slovenian E-invocing” UKREP
Oblikovana je spletna stran www.roseslovenia.eu, hkrati pa so bile narejene dopolnitve na spletni strani Slovenski e-Račun (www.slovenskieracun.si), z namero, da se s pomočjo spletne strani zagotavlja podpora in uporabne informacije izvajalcem javnih storitev pri izvajanju prihajajoče obveznosti o sprejemu e-računa, ko bo poslan v EU standardu. Na spletni strani bodo redno objavljene dopolnitve in novice, saj spletna stran spremlja napredek ukrepa “Readiness Of Slovenian E-invoicing (ROSE)”, katerega izvedbo, ki je v teku, podpira Evropska unija.
Nosilci ukrepa – predstavniki Uprave Republike Slovenije za javna plačila, Centra za evropsko prihodnost, Gospodarske zbornice Slovenije, podjetji Mojdenar IT d.o.o. in ZZI d.o.o. so se zbrali 31.8.2017 na tretjem sestanku usmerjevalnega odbora, se seznanili z dosežki in načrtovanimi nalogami ter potrdili predstavljeno spletno stran.
Med pomembnimi odločitvami usmerjevalnega odbora je tudi odločitev o začetku intenzivnih priprav na nacionalno konferenco z naslovom “Bomo pripravljeni na EU standard za e-račun?”, ki bo organizirana 22. septembra 2017 v Ljubljani.

“Readiness Of Slovenian E-Invoicing” (ROSE), a Connecting European Facility Action, co-financed by the European Union and implemented by the Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, ZZI d.o.o., Mojdenar IT d.o.o. and Centre for European Perspective, is entering the analytical and conceptual solutions phase, throughout which the partners will continue to raise awareness and promote exchange of e-Invoices in the EU. They discussed the achievements so far and future goals at the second Steering Board Meeting hosted by the Centre for European Perspective on 27 July 2017.
The key objective of the consortium that is addressing the European Directive on electronic invoicing in public procurement (2014/55/EU), is to set up supporting technical environment that will allow them to upgrade the existing system of e-Invoicing for the budget users and to establish a system for the contracting entities (i.e. public service providers other than budget users). Both systems will enable the contracting authorities and contracting entities to receive and accept e-Invoices in accordance with the European standards on e-Invoicing.
e-Invoice recipients’ entity database, that will be set up by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, is following the decision of the European Directive according to which the ability to use the e-Invoicing system is also required from public service providers other than budget users. Among those we most often find local utility and other public services companies. The consortium will to a large extent focus on trainings that will help them understand the standardization of the e-Invoicing in the EU and in Slovenia. EU Member States and the European Commission introduced the new European standard mainly due to the diversity of the e-Invoices formats, used in various EU countries. Such diversity leads to unnecessary complexity and high costs for economic operators and public entities and prevents electronic invoices to flow seamlessly across the EU which limits effectiveness of the Digital Single Market.
Solutions developed through the ROSE project, will include nationally-specific e-Invoicing standard eSlog 2.0 in compliance with European standards, a platform for transposition and receipt of e-Invoices sent in one of the European standards, e-Invoices recipients’ e database and upgraded single entry and exit points for exchange of e-Invoices at the Public Payments Administration.
National conference, devoted to better understanding of public service providers concerning receipt of e-invoices and presentation of accomplishments of the ROSE project will be organized on 25 September 2017 in Ljubljana.
Projekt ROSE z novimi rešitvami za Slovenijo in Evropsko unijo pri izmenjavi e-računov pri javnem naročanju
Projekt “Readiness Of Slovenian E-Invoicing” (ROSE), ki ga s finančno podporo Evropske komisije izvajajo Uprava Republike Slovenije za javna plačila, Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije, ZZI d.o.o., Mojdenar IT d.o.o. ter Center za evropsko prihodnost, tekom poletnih mesecev prehaja v analitično fazo oziroma fazo oblikovanja konceptualnih rešitev ob vzporednih naporih za boljšo ozaveščenosti in promocijo izmenjave e-računov v EU. O dosedanjih in prihodnjih dosežkih je tekla razprava na drugem sestanku usmerjevalnega odbora, ki ga je gostil Center za evropsko prihodnost dne 27. julija 2017.
Ključni namen trenutnih prizadevanj konzorcija, ki s projektom naslavljajo evropsko direktivo o prejemanju elektronskih računov pri javnem naročanju (2014/55/EU), je vzpostaviti podporno tehnološko okolje za nadgradnjo sistema za proračunske porabnike in vzpostavitev sistem za ostale zavezance, vpisane v nastajajoč Register prejemnikov eRačunov, ki bo omogočal prejem in prevzem eRačunov v skladu z evropskimi standardi o eRačunih.
Register prejemnikov eRačunov, ki ga bo vzpostavila Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije, sledi zahtevam evropske direktive, da tudi izvajalci javnih storitev, ki niso proračunski porabniki, v svoje poslovanje uvedejo e-račune. Med tovrstnimi izvajalci so v Sloveniji prisotna predvsem lokalna komunalna podjetja in drugi izvajalci javnih storitev. Prav tem bodo namenjena tudi usposabljanja, ki bodo pripomogla k razumevanju standardizacije e-računov v Evropski uniji in Sloveniji. Države EU in Evropska komisija so namreč evropski standard za e-račune uvedle zaradi raznolikih formatov e-računov, ki se uporabljajo v državah EU. Raznolikost namreč vodi v nepotrebno zapletenost in visoke stroške za gospodarske subjekte in javne institucije in preprečuje, da bi elektronski računi tekoče krožili znotraj EU oziroma omejuje učinkovito delovanje Enotnega digitalnega trga EU.
Tehnična rešitev, ki bo izdelana tekom projekta ROSE, bo zajemala nacionalno specifični standard za elektronske račune eSLOG 2.0, ki bo usklajen z evropskimi standardi, platformo za prevajanje in prejem eRačunov, poslanih v enem od standardov, veljavnih v Evropski uniji, register prejemnikov eRačunov ter nadgradnjo vstopne točke za prejemnike eRačunov pri Upravi RS za javna plačila.
Nacionalna konferenca, namenjena boljši seznanjenosti izvajalcev javnih storitev glede prejemanja e-računov in predstavitvi prvih rezultatov projekta bo organizirana 25. septembra 2017 v Ljubljani.
![Slovenia will shape Digital Single Market with the support of the EU Connecting Europe Facility E-Invoicing Programme]()
2. 6. 2017 | PR, ROSE
The European Commission took an Implementing Decision to support and co-finance Slovenia’s intention to further advance its E-Invoicing system and align it with the relevant EU legislation, contributing thus to the digital transformation of eProcurement. The action titled “Readiness Of Slovenian E-Invoicing” (ROSE) is prepared and implemented by the Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, ZZI d.o.o., Mojdenar IT d.o.o. and Centre for European Perspective who coordinates the action.
The objective of this Action is to increase the uptake and use of e-invoicing of 90% of the Slovene contracting authorities and contracting entities, and to be compliant with newly adopted European standard (EN) on electronic invoicing by the end of May 2018. Implemented eDelivery DSI will establish conditions of interoperability on local and national level and in cross-border communications.
EU countries and the European Commission introduced a European Standard for e-Invoicing in response to the many e-invoice formats used across the EU. These varied formats cause unnecessary complexity and high costs for economic operators and public entities and prevent electronic invoices to flow seamlessly across the EU.
To achieve targeted uptake and use of e-invoicing and compliance with EN and document delivery for contracting authorities, the existing single entry and exit point at the Public Payment Administration will be upgraded accordingly. It also requires Slovenian e-Invoices standard eSLOG aligned with the newly adopted European standard. According to the European Directive on electronic invoicing in public procurement (2014/55/EU), the receipt of e-invoices send in the European standard is also required from public service providers other than budget users – in large number local utility and public services companies. The action will pay special attention to introduce and support the implementation of this novelty to them. Trainings of local contracting entities and solution providers as well as promotion and dissemination activities will build awareness and understanding of Slovenian local utility and other public service providers of EU standardisation of e-invoicing and their obligations of receiving it. Deliverables will be produced as reusable building blocks to support trans-European connectivity and will be available for wider deployment.
The action is launched on 1 June 2017 and it will be completed by 31 May 2018.
E-invoicing system in Slovenia
The e-invoicing in Slovenia is in a good shape. The electronic exchange of invoices supported with electronic delivery system has been present in Slovenia for several years, as the Slovenian economic space prepared a national standard of electronic invoice back in 2005.
Despite this possibility, the usage of the e-invoices did not reach the expected extent. In 2012, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia and the Public Payments Administration of the Republic of Slovenia established the National Forum for E-Invoice with intention to take active leadership and coordination role in the popularisation and introduction of benefits.
Cooperation of all stakeholders through the National Forum in the past few years and coordinated approach by regulators led to the first actual extended usage of e-invoices: from 1 January 2015, budget users, who represent major part of public sector can only receive e-invoices instead of paper invoices. Since the legislation in Slovenia permit PPA to exchange e-invoices only for budget users, it is necessary to establish the appropriate solutions to the remaining organizations, which are legal entities governed by public law but are not budget users.
About the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)
The action “Readiness Of Slovenian E-invoicing” is co-financed by the European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). CEF in Telecom is a key EU instrument to facilitate cross-border interaction between public administrations, businesses and citizens, by deploying digital service infrastructures (DSIs) and broadband networks. Supported actions will contribute to the creation of a European ecosystem of interoperable and interconnected digital services that sustain the Digital Single Market.
E-invoicing represents a clear example of how digital innovation can provide efficiencies and cost-cutting measures of tangible benefit to public administrations, citizens and businesses throughout Europe. Digital technologies are transforming our world. It’s time to make the EU’s single market fit for the digital age.
Slovenija bo krepila enotni digitalni trg s podporo programa e-računi znotraj EU Connecting Europe Facility E-Invoicing
Evropska komisija je sprejela odločitev, da podpre in sofinancira namero Slovenije, da nadalje razvije sistem e-računov in ga uskladi z relevantno zakonodajo Evropske unije (EU), kar bo pripomoglo k digitalni transformaciji naročil. Projekt z naslovom “Readiness Of Slovenian E-Invoicing” (ROSE) so pripravili in implementirali Uprava Republike Slovenije za javna plačila, Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije, ZZI d.o.o., Mojdenar IT d.o.o. ter Center za evropsko prihodnost, ki projekt koordinira.
Cilj je, da bo ob zaključku projekta 90 % zavezancev za prejem računa v elektronski obliki v skladu z Direktivo 2014/55/EU vpisanih v Register prejemnikov eRačunov, ki ga bo vzpostavila Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije ter 90 % zavezancev sposobno prevzeti eRačun v skladu z novo sprejetim evropskim standardom (EN) o elektronskih računih do konca maja 2018. Implementirani eDelivery DSI bo zagotavljal pogoje za operativnost na lokalni in nacionalni ravni in čezmejno komunikacijo. .
Države EU in Evropska komisija so evropski standard za e-račune uvedle v odziv na raznolike formate e-računov, ki se uporabljajo v državah EU. Raznoliki formati so namreč privedli do nepotrebne zapletenosti in visokih stroškov za gospodarske subjekte in javne institucije in preprečevali, da bi elektronski računi tekoče krožili znotraj EU.
Da bi dosegli zadano uporabo in sprejemanje e-računov v skladu z EN in dostavo dokumentov za javne organe naročnike , bo nadgrajena obstoječa enotna vstopna in izstopna točka pri Upravi RS za javna plačila. To hkrati zahteva uskladitev slovenskega standarda e-računov eSLOG z na novo sprejetim evropskim standardom. V skladu z evropsko direktivo o izdajanju elektronskih računov pri javnem naročanju (2014/55/EU) je prejemanje elektronskih računov poslanih po evropskem standardu zahtevano tudi za izvajalce javnih storitev, ki niso proračunski porabniki. Predvsem gre za lokalna komunalna podjetja in ostale izvajalce javnih storitev. Projekt bo posebno pozornost podpori pri uvajanju novosti namenil prav tem subjektom. Treningi za lokalna komunalna podjetja in ostale izvajalce javnih storitev ter ponudnike elektronskih storitev in rešitev, promocija in aktivnosti razširjanja rezultatov bodo prispevali k ustvarjanju zavesti in razumevanja slovenskih lokalnih komunalnih podjetij ter ostalih izvajalcev javnih storitev glede standardizacije e-računov v EU ter njihovih obvez. Rezultati bodo predstavljeni v obliki gradnikov, ki jih je mogoče ponovno uporabiti za podporo vseevropske povezljivosti ter bodo na voljo za širšo uporabo.
Projekt se začenja 1. junija 2017 in se bo izvajal do 31. maja 2018.
Sistem e-računov v Sloveniji
Sistem e-računov v Sloveniji dobro deluje. Elektronska izmenjava računov, podprta z elektronskim sistemom dostave, je v Sloveniji uvedena že več let, saj je slovenski gospodarski prostor uvedel nacionalni standard elektronskih računov že leta 2005.
Kljub možnosti uporabe pa e-računi niso dosegli pričakovanega obsega. Leta 2012 sta Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije ter Uprava RS za javna plačila ustanovili Nacionalni forum za eRačun z namenom, da bi prevzeli aktivno vodstvo in koordinacijsko vlogo pri popularizaciji in uvajanju pozitivnih učinkov elektronskih računov.
Sodelovanje vseh deležnikov pri Nacionalnem forumu v preteklih letih in koordinirani pristop regulatorjev je privedel do prvega primera razširjene uporabe e-računov: od 1. januarja 2015 vsi proračunski uporabniki, ki predstavljajo večji del javnega sektorja, sprejemajo le e-račune. Uprava za javna plačila omogoča izmenjavo e-računov le za proračunske uporabnike, zato je nujno vzpostaviti primerne rešitve za ostale subjekte, ki zagotavljajo javne storitve, a niso proračunski uporabniki.
O Instrumentu za povezovanje Evrope
Projekt “Readiness Of Slovenian E-invoicing” je sofinanciran preko Instrumenta za povezovanje Evrope (CEF). CEF Telecom je ključni instrument EU za podporo čezmejnim stikom med javnimi upravami, podjetji in državljani, preko uporabe digitalne storitvene infrastrukture in širokopasovnih omrežij. Podprti projekt bo prispeval k ustvarjanju evropskega ekosistema medsebojno kompatibilnih in povezanih digitalnih storitev, ki odlikujejo enotni digitalni trg.
E-računi predstavljajo jasen primer, kako digitalne inovacije prinašajo merljive koristi pri učinkovitosti in varčnosti za javno upravo, državljane in podjetja širom Evrope. Digitalne tehnologije spreminjajo naš svet. Čas je, da enotni evropski trg prilagodimo digitalni dobi.
