Specific COSME call Information platform on parcel delivery services

The European Commission has published a specific call under the EU programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (COSME). The call 'Information platform on parcel delivery services' closes September 16, 2015. The budget of the call with identifier COS-IPPDS-2015-2-02-1 has a budget of € 360,000.

The objective of this call for proposals is the setting-up and maintenance of a web information platform on parcel delivery services. The platform would aim at promoting the take-up of cross border e-commerce and at creating an environment that allows Small and Medium Enterprises to take part in the cross border e-commerce growth. The purpose of this initiative is to improve the transparency of information on existing parcel delivery solutions particularly for cross-border delivery, and thus facilitate cross-border shipping through the creation of a web information platform presenting and comparing the different solutions available for parcel delivery. The platform would act as a one-stop information point for e-retailers wishing to fulfil shipment across European borders.
