PEPPOL is a large-scale European Commission project, working on allowing any company in the EU to be able to communicate electronically with any EU governmental institution for all procurement processes.

Within Europe a new digital signature format “PAdES” is gaining traction. PAdES stands for “PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures” and is a set of standards published by ETSI (TS 102 778 parts 1 to 5) to support European requirements for electronic signatures. The purpose is specifically for creation of long-term signatures that are verifiable for years or even decades.
