Europass is also largely unknown. Politics aside, it is a good format and I would much prefer to get standardized CVs like this, especially for the skill assessment in languages.
The problem here is: some European countries use very particular formats for their CVs. e.g. Germany has the "tabular CV", which expects all these things to be organized by time and date, it even includes where and when you went to Kindergarten. Europass doesn't fit many of those particularities (which is kind of the point).
