Punto informatico (http://punto-informatico.it/3839217/PI/News/ue-open-che-fa-risparmiare.aspx) and theinquirer.net (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2277311/european-commission-foresees-eur11bn-savings-from-open-standards) talks about an direction approved by European Commission on adoption of open standars, then later, they use open source, as synonimous.
