The European Commission and OpenPEPPOL joined forces to support the development of secure electronic data exchange across borders. Both signed an agreement, where the Commission will host a central service of the eDelivery network, while OpenPEPPOL will continue to manage the business-related governance of the network in the e-procurement domain.

The OpenPEPPOL Association was established after the successful completion of the LSP project: Pan-European Public Procurement Online (PEPPOL), funded by ICT Policy Support Programme, as part of the Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP). PEPPOL significantly contributed to e-SENS in e-Procurement domain.
