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":
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/studies/OSS-procurement-guideline-public-final-June2010-EUPL-FINAL.pdf

Hope this helps.

Greetings,

Guido
