Anyone know anything about this?

The Ministry of Finance further highlighted that so far 70 entities are authorized to act as providers of e-invoice validation services (locally known as Plateformes de Dematerialisation Partenaires or PDPs). The PDPs will be authorized to handle all e-invoicing functions, including issuing and transmitting e-invoices to customers and transmitting invoice, transaction, and payment data to the administration.
The announcement also seems to suggest that the French government will no longer pursue the provision of a free platform for taxpayers to be able to issue e-invoices as that role will be solely played by the authorized PDPs. The development of a tool that would allow certain taxpayers to issue, receive and manage their e-invoices for free was going to be under the responsibility of the Public Invoicing Portal (Portail Public de Facturation or PPF). Instead, the government will focus on building a directory of recipients, which is essential for exchanges between platforms, and a data concentrator that allows their transmission to the tax authority.

Have I understood this correctly that all invoices B2B and B2C will have to be issued through central invoicing systems in France by Sept 2027? 🙁 The idea being to combat tax and invoice fraud and let government get real time reporting and insight?
I must be wrong as this sounds like Big Brother on steroids and some dystopian situation 🙁.
