The Role of Open Source for an Interoperable Europe
summary
Proposal creates a governance layer with an Interoperable Europe Board (one rep per member state plus Committee of the Regions and EESC) and an open Community that advises and can propose solutions. It mandates a share-and-reuse mechanism: public bodies must publish an interoperability solution when another public body requests it, and a federated Interoperable Europe portal serves as the single entry point. Article 4 ties reuse to documented source code and tech docs; licensing leans on the EUPL (available in 23 languages) and interoperability assessments and support measures guide implementation.
