(ESI).

Introduction
Electronic delivery services in the broad sense, i.e. services that make it possible to transmit data between third parties
by electronic means, are ubiquitous in most human activities. This is potentially true also when focusing on electronic
registered delivery services in the stricter sense provided by the European regulation No 910/2014 [i.4], which adds
requirements on the integrity, confidentiality, non-repudiation and indisputability of transmitted data. Obviously, these
requirements apply to a wide range of contexts. The necessity of a governance on this field has been clearly recognized
by the Regulation (EU) No 283/2014 [i.31] (hereafter referred to as eTelNet) and by the Regulation (EE)
No 910/2014 [i.4] (hereafter referred to as eIDAS or eIDAS Regulation). The first document states that:
"Member States should encourage local and regional authorities to be fully and effectively involved in the
governance of digital service infrastructures, and ensure that projects of common interest relating to cross-border
delivery of eGovernment services take into account the EIF recommendations."
while, in the Annex, it explicitly identifies electronic delivery among the "building blocks" for the digital service
infrastructure. Annex 2 to the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the
European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of Regions Towards interoperability for European public
services: "European Interoperability Framework" (hereafter referred to as EIF) [i.30] suggests that a layered approach to
interoperability has to be adopted, distinguishing legal, organizational, semantic and technical (syntax, transmission)
aspects. It is assumed that eIDAS Regulation [i.4] aims at covering the "legal" layer, while the other layers are covered
by specific standards.
The impact assessment accompanying eTelNet Regulation [i.31] recognizes that:
"A large number of cross-border digital services implementing exchanges between European public administrations
in support of Union policies are a reality. When providing new solutions, it is important to capitalise on existing
solutions implemented in the context of other European initiatives, avoid duplication of work, and ensure
coordination and alignment of approaches and solutions across initiatives and policies […]"
As a matter of fact, several electronic (either registered or not) delivery services are emerging, most of them restricted
either to a member state or to a community, a business, etc. Some of these services are not homogeneous and not
interoperable, mainly because of the lack of a normative and standardization base, hence hindering the emergence of
electronic registered delivery as a global (or, at least, pan-European) commodity service.

A first attempt was already provided by Registered Electronic Mail (hereafter referred to as REM) specifications
(multi-part deliverable ETSI TS 102 640 [i.7] to [i.15]) and the related UPU specifications (CEN/TS 16326 [i.5]) which,
however, were focused on a subset of features and technologies.

1 Scope
The present document provides a proposal for a rationalized framework of standards for electronic registered delivery
services, as defined by the eIDAS Regulation [i.5], and fully aligned with the principles, criteria and structure of the
ETSI TR 119 000 [i.15]: "Rationalized structure for Electronic Signature Standardization" which describes the
rationalized structure for the current and future European eSignatures standardization documents.
The present document also includes a set of recommendations for future standardization activities that target at
implementing the framework of standards for electronic registered delivery.
