Belgrade Model EU 2015 Documents
Dear participants of the Model European Union simulation 20beum15, I totally support the aim of the simulation organisers to print less paper during the conference.
So I will provide, as I did last time, the legal texts in various eBook formats! The texts used for the conference are shortened! The original sources are probably these ones:
- Regulation:
- http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2015.169.01.0001.01.ENG
- Directive:
- http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:JOL_2015_068_R_0001
BEUM Shortened Versions! Please be aware of the fact that the documents below are based on a modified, shortened version of the original texts.

How it is done

exit
end
source = File.expand_path ARGV.first
abort("ERROR: File #{source} doesn't exist.") unless File.exists? source
basename = File.basename source, '.*'
puts "source #{source}"
# prepare for input filter of ebook-convert
# %x[soffice --headless --convert-to docx #{source}]
docxfile = basename + '.docx'
# convert to ebook
%x[ebook-convert #{docxfile} #{basename}.mobi] # kindle old
