The city of Villeurbanne recently put out a request for public-market proposals concerning the migration of computer stations to Microsoft software Windows Seven and MS Office 2010).

April's members from the region have written to the mayor of Villeurbanne, to the general councilors, and to the municipal councilors to denounce the noncompliance with the principals of public procurement.
