18The European Blockchain
Partnership is a group of 29 Currently 27 live Nodes
countries and the EC. We
help public administrations
accelerate the creation of
trustworthy cross-border
digital services.
Having this opportunity in mind, the EBSI (European
Blockchain Services Infrastructure) has been developed.
Our vision is to accelerate the creation of cross-border
services and put blockchain at the service of public
administrations for the purpose of verifying information,
making the services trustworthy.
EBSI is the first EU-wide blockchain infrastructure, driven
by the public sector, in full respect of European values and
regulations. EBSI is supported by 29 countries (All EU
Member States, Norway and Lichtenstein) and the EC
forming the European Blockchain Partnership (EBP).
19EBSI is designed as a market-friendly blockchain ecosystem
based on open standards and a transparent governance model.
The EBP has approved five key principles.

Apostille
A citizen requests a digital
apostille to the authorities of the
country of origin, so that the
validity of a document can be
easily verified and recognised by
another country.
47Modernisation of the Apostille Illustrative use case
Target user and needs
Drafted by the Hague Conference on Private International
Law (HCCH) in 1961, the Apostille convention defines
the modalities through which a document issued by a
country can be certified for legal purposes in another.
If the convention applies between two countries the
apostille is sufficient to certify a document's validity. The
apostille itself is a stamp or printed form consisting of ten
numbered standard fields. There are currently 120
contracting states for the Apostille Convention.
Scenario Potential Reach and stakeholders
A digital apostille is implemented by Government authorities in countries that are

Target user and needs
Tracing back the origins of a product and following the whole supply chain is fundamental in making sure that all the EU rules in producing, processing,
trading and selling organic products were maintained. This would facilitate the trust between operators and the controls.
