(40) Since contracting authorities and contracting entities will be able to accept electronic invoices which comply with standards other than the European standard on electronic invoicing as well as paper invoices unless otherwise provided in national legislation, this Directive does not place any additional costs or burden on enterprises, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises within the meaning of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC of 6 May 2003 concerning the definition of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (OJ L 124, 20.5.2003, p. 36). . Furthermore, the Commission and the Member States should make every effort to minimise the cost of the European standard on electronic invoicing for its users, in particular for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, so as to facilitate its uptake across the European Union.
