just curious to know: is FSF France the same as FSF Europe Chapter France or something different?
If it is the same we should avoid to use terms like FSF France, FSF Germany to have FSF Europe known as focal point for European Free Software issues in general.
If FSF Europe is meant to be the backbone for the national chapters and not meant to be a contact point to the public, the story is different, of course.

Absolutely the same. Just a simpler way to mention this organization.

Well actually, that's more a backbone in what I can understand the structure of the FSFE...
Actually, the name means the same thing but is easier to understand when you speak about FSF <country>.
It might be wiser to use the "European" oriented version if you want to emphasize the importance of the organization and it's influence... and the country version when you want to stand closer to the people you're speaking to ? It depends mostly on whom you're talking to.
Any other comments ?
Any official policy ?
