Both REUSE and GNU documentation say that certain things should be present in your package, it doesn't say that some other things should not, and those things have different format, so the reader can distinguish them. So when GNU recommendations are still followed and the duplicated information isn't inconsistent, these practices must be compatible.

WRT GNU & FSF vs FSFE discussions, this is out of scope of this support tracker; please use other forums.  IIRC the Free Software Directory had plans for using SPDX license identifiers.

Well,
  this is FSF Europe that created these recommendations following some other recommendations and standard (see https://reuse.software/comparison/), so my concern is if FSFE is creating something that can be considered compatible with Savannah requirements for projects, or not.

If not (and that's a problem!), well, I think it's up to GNU, FSF and FSFE to discuss about the issue and change something. If the two are not compatible, it's frankly ridiculous to continue the effort on REUSE (that came later than Savannah and GNU...).

To my oppinion fsf and gnu should pull
away there hands from spdx.
And go on with their own efforts.

Hello,
  I'm thinking about aplpying the REUSE recommendations (by FSF Europe) to my projects here on Savannah.

See https://reuse.software/ and https://reuse.software/faq/

Are the two things compatible?
