The European Commission will have to provide information on the development of #FreeSoftware interoperable solutions, and will have to set up actions in support of these solutions.

We will closely monitor the implementation of this regulation, making sure that Free Software and its Community can effectively contribute to an interoperable Europe.

#IEA #EU #InteroperableEuropeAct

https://fsfe.org/news/2024/news-20240206-01.html

The #InteroperableEuropeAct has been adopted in the European Parliament plenary with 524 votes in favour, 18 against and 97 abstentions.

In spite of ambiguities in the wording and the exclusion of the #FreeSoftware Community from the governance of the regulation, decisions makers heard our demands.
