Overview

WebEDI is a private initiative developed by France Telecom/Transpac with the objective of linking large organisations with small enterprises using the internet. The first project is the implementation of an internet server for access to local administrative information in the Chalon sur Saône region (Communauté des Communes de Chalon sur Saône) and the first web-form is for the Intrastat declaration. The role of French Customs in this project is to supply the specifications, validate the results and give approval for the system to become operational. This system, tested by twenty companies from June to December 1999, has to be approved by French Customs before being operational.

The main functions offered are:

• user authentication,
• creation of a new declaration,
• management of declarations,
• validation of declarations,
• archive of declarations,
• printing of declarations,
• multilingual support (French, English).

The minimum system requirements for the user are:

• 32-bit PC,
• Windows 95 (or above) or Windows NT,
• Internet access,
• Netscape Navigator version 4 (or above) or Internet Explorer version 3 (or above),
• screen resolution of 800 x 600 (recommended minimum).

The users targeted by Web EDI are SMEs declaring less than 10 lines on paper form. The web-form is available in French and English.
