Spain received comments from the Commission on the draft B2B e-invoicing Decree

B2B Electronic Invoicing in Spain is Getting Closer.

Directive (EU) 2015/1535 establishes a procedure that requires Member States to notify the European Commission of all draft technical regulations related to products and services of the information society before they are adopted into national law.

In the loooooong road towards implementing B2B electronic invoicing, the Ministries of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation and of Finance and Civil Service sent the draft regulatory development of the #createandgrowlaw to the Commission last February.

With the three-month status quo period now exhausted, we have received the #CommissionObservationDocument back. As Baltasar Gracián would have said, “the good, if brief, twice as good”:

The Commission only recommends that the Spanish state use the terms “advanced electronic signatures or seals” in the text of the regulatory development, instead of “advanced electronic signatures” to avoid ambiguities, reminding that the latter applies only to natural persons and the wording should also cover invoices issued by legal entities.

With this lexical-semantic appreciation by the Commission, the end of spring already smells like #electronicinvoice.
