- GS1 Specifications for aggregate level UIs generated directly by economic operators can be found within Secondary Repository (Dentsu) Clarifications on Reporting Unique Identifiers, Section 1.2.2.
- The EU Secondary Repository operated by Dentsu now includes specifications inclusive of GS1 EPCIS and EDI XML standards as well as GS1’s algorithm/flat-file specifications. Version 1.3 of Dentsu’s technical specifications and Common Data Dictionary incorporate these important changes. Today, GS1 Data Sharing standards are the only open, international standards for data exchange supported by the EU Secondary Repository. This offers GS1 members the opportunity to use their existing XML messages for event and transactional data to meet EU 2018/574 regulatory requirements.
- GS1 in Europe has published the “Recommendations for EU Regulation 2018/574 implementation while minimising retail supply chain disruption” which provide suggestions to GS1 MOs on how to minimise retail supply chain issues while correctly implementing the recent EU tobacco track and trace rules to fight against illicit trade.
