Does anyone with a greater knowledge of the mechanisms of the EU funding bodies know if I can do anything about this? For example, can I email my country's EU reprasentitve and present and argument for FOSS? Or is the funding decision here managed by a specifuc group within the EU that my representitive can have little influence on?
The Eurocomission, which has most power in the EU, is a bureaucratic unelected structure. No chance.
I'm not sure but there is an open letter that you could sign that could have some hints https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40986638
