Just found that, a press release from EuroLinux Alliance:
http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-11-21-021-20-PR-LL


"EuroLinux welcomes this move. An EU country now officialy endorses open 
standards and open source / free software through an application law. It 
confirms the adoption of open source / free software within European 
public administrations. For Harmut Pilch, president of the FFII, 
"projects including the GnuPG cryptographic software, the SLIS 
communication server for schools, the Mioga toolkit for extranet or the 
Yihaw portal component for Zope have proven that the use of open source 
/ free software through customisation and maintenance contracts between 
public administrations and commercial software companies is an efficient 
and sustainable economic model for software infrastructure.""

FFII is
"Förderverein für eine Freie Informationelle Infrastruktur"
something like foundation for a free infrastructur of information

cheers,
