Absolutely the same. Just a simpler way to mention this organization.

Well actually, that's more a backbone in what I can understand the
structure of the FSFE...

Actually, the name means the same thing but is easier to understand when
you speak about FSF <country>. 

It might be wiser to use the "European" oriented version if you want to
emphasize the importance of the organization and it's influence... and
the country version when you want to stand closer to the people you're
speaking to ?
It depends mostly on whom you're talking to.

Any other comments ?

Any official policy ?
