Have Your Say! Survey on Implementation and Communication Strategies for the eFTI Regulation

Have Your Say stampWe would like to raise your attention to our Survey on Implementation and Communication strategies for the eFTI Regulation, a 5-10-minute online survey.

The survey tackles different stakeholders and we are still lacking input from service developers and platform providers.
 
As eFTI is highly relying on service developers and platform providers, we appreciate your support by distributing the survey to relevant stakeholders that will be developing and operating eFTI platforms in the near future.
 
Why is a clear implementation and communication strategy important for service developers and platform providers?
  1. Be ready in time;
  2. Provide economic operators with sufficient choice for connection (platform solutions);
  3. Ensure a smooth exchange between economic operators and platform developers from the start;
  4. Have clarity on architectural requirements.
The inputs will support the DTLF in assisting the European Commission to establish an effective implementation and communication strategy for eFTI, targeting also service developers and platform providers.

Deadline: 15 August 2023
