The European Commission aims to develop the European Digital Single
Market to foster economic growth by removing barriers that impede data
from flowing across borders and sectors. The Large Scale Pilot (LSP),
e-SENS<http://www.esens.eu/> and the Connecting Europe Facility
(CEF),<https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/connecting-europe-facility> 

which operationalises services developed in the LSPs, have been working
closely on the implementation of secure message exchange in several
policy domains of the Union, commonly known as eDelivery. To make this a
reality, a profile of the AS4 message exchange specification was
developed and is now being promoted for adoption by software vendors
under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
