Goals / Remit
Free ICT Europe is a nonprofit foundation actively promoting the Information Communication Technology Secondary Market within Europe. Our objective is to secure the right of ownership and the freedom for consumers and businesses alike to freely choose their sales, maintenance and repair providers. We can achieve this by addressing the restrictive practices undertaken by Original Equipment Manufacturers, ensuring serviceability is included as a key component of the Digital Agenda, promoting common standards for reuse and resale of equipment and software and achieving contract transparency to protect end users against unfair business practices.We bring together organisations from the ICT secondary market under the banner of “Freedom to Support, Repair and Resell”. We represent the interests of all operators within this market including Third Party Maintainers, Software Support Organisations, IT Brokers, Spare Parts Suppliers, Used Software resellers and Rental and Leasing Companies.
Main EU files targeted
