The document discusses the OpenEuropa Initiative, which aims to strengthen the adoption of open source tools and practices at the European Commission. It describes moving from a monolithic approach to a component-based one using loosely coupled, reusable software components. An example given is the Europa Component Library Drupal theme, which allows sites to have a consistent look and feel. OpenEuropa allows building a streamlined software as a service platform to power the next generation of the European Union web presence using these reusable open source components.
