The drawback of this solution is that you have to use a \verb|\bibentry| command for each bibliography item you want to appear. If you have written many publications, this can be a pain in the neck. Unfortunately, the only solution I know is to write a script to perform the task automatically.

-The \textsf{europecv} class uses standard LaTeX relative font sizes, so there are a few mismatches with respect to the official template. The vertical rule is thinner than the official one, but this can easily be changed with \ecv{RuleWidth}. The last noticeable difference is the span of the vertical rule, which in the official model goes through the page footer. The \textsf{europecv} class keeps the footer separate from the text of the curriculum vit\ae.

The vertical rule has a different width with respect to the official one(s), but this can easily be changed with \ecv{RuleWidth}. The mobile phone number is placed in an unusual position in the official model: almost flushed right, but not quite. I have decided to put it a \texttt{\textbackslash qquad} from the telephone number, and I have added a colon. Finally, I have decided to put a comma between the last name and the first name in the personal information block, because I think it helps distinguishing between them in some cases.
