Structured electronic documents (SEDs)

Modernised coordination regulations require data to be exchanged electronically between institutions across the EU. This will be done through the EESSI system. Structured Electronic Documents (SED) have been designed and will be exchanged following electronic procedures (so-called Business Use Cases). This will make communication of data between institutions easier and more efficient. Until the end of the transitional period of two years towards full electric exchange between all Member States, paper versions of the SEDs can be used.

Portable documents (PDs)

Former paper ‘E-forms’ disappear under modernised coordination, but in some cases the information required by a citizen will be issued in the form of a portable document. There are ten portable documents altogether, including the European Health Insurance Card. Apart from the card, the others are paper forms. They will be issued from 1 May 2010 and even after the transitional period.
