Hello,

companies in this project? Is there any European directive which recommends the use of Free Software in such situations?
I have to check that, but as far as I recall there is no real recommendation.
I had a quick look and also couldn't find anything. There was the news in December that the EC postponed its guideline on ICT standardisation and procurement: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/ec-postpones-its-guideline-ict-standardisat...
But even if this guidline was in place, it only suggests that "open source may be considered" as far as I coud see by skimming through it.
Speaking of procurement, there is also the "Guideline on public procurement of Open Source Software": https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/studies/OSS-procurement-guid...
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
Guido
