The petition is open to all EU resident. The goal is to replace all Windows in all public institution in Europe with a sovereign GNU/Linux.

Aren't most government organizations interlinked?

Depends where you are. I can't speculate on the EU or its member-states. But here in Canada, your information is basically stuck at an organization unless you give consent to have it sent somewhere else. And it gets even more complicated when it involves a provincial-federal relationship.
