We discuss the recent data of exclusive $$\pi^0$$ (and $$\pi^+$$) electroproduction on the proton obtained by the CLAS collaboration at Jefferson Lab. It is observed that the cross sections, which have been decomposed in $$\sigma_T+\epsilon\sigma_L$$, $$\sigma_{TT}$$ and $$\sigma_{LT}$$ structure functions, are dominated by transverse amplitude contributions. The data can be interpreted in the Generalized Parton Distribution formalism provided that one includes helicity-flip transversity GPDs.
