The europecv environment is actually a single longtable environment.
All the usual stretchiness in a LaTeX documents (between paragraphs,
sections, etc.) is not necessarily available inside a longtable. The
europecv documentation mentions longtable only once, in section 4.

I do not often use the longtable environment, but I would look into
its documentation to see if one can add some stretch between lines
or otherwise induce it to produce flushbottom pages.

But I suspect that you are supposed to design the page layout
yourself, adding vertical space where needed (perhaps with the
optional argument of \ecvitem).
