Dear John,
It is quite likely that the Convention Secretariat has been disbanded and
tracing down the original documents would be difficult, if not impossible.
In the Commission's Secretariat General, Pieter Van Nuffel,
[log in to unmask], is the Head of Unit that was responsible for
Convention issues.
Adobe 6.0 will convert pdf files to rtf. You do a save as and select rtf
format. There could be some conversion problems if the pdf was not created
in 6.0 and in tagged format.

Hello everyone,
I have a request pertaining to the format of EU documents. We are trying to
do a text analysis of the documents produced by an dsubmitted to the
European Convention by means of computer-based text analysis (using
primarily WordSmith and Atlas.Ti). The problem is that the documents on the
Convention website are in pdf. The programs we use require documents in word
or rtf format. Adobe as far as I know - at least in its present form - is
also very difficult to use.
Does anyone know whether the documents are available as rtf and/or word and
if so whom I should contact to get a hold of them?
With all best wishes for the holiday season.
John
