Following its investigation, the EDPS has found that the European Commission (Commission) has infringed several key data protection rules when using Microsoft 365. In its decision, the EDPS imposes corrective measures on the Commission.

The EDPS has found that the Commission has infringed several provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the EU’s data protection law for EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (EUIs), including those on transfers of personal data outside the EU/European Economic Area (EEA).

Some European entities have already jumped to LibreOffice. It’s a European-made drop-in replacement. I’m surprised at them not simply ordering the Commission to switch immediately.

LibreOffice by itself isn't a drop in replacement for Office365.

LibreOffice + NextCloud + Jitsi/Bluebutton + Grafana + bunch of other services together could be.

If NextCloud does the storage / mail / calendaring/ contacts / tasks / notes etc.

And if the hoster ties some loose ends for Forms, Powerautomate, Kanban oh and everything Azure.
