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-standardisation-and-procurement
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":

Hope this helps.
Greetings,
Guido
