This is the point.

Some of the exported records have fields (mainly "ADR" and "LABEL") ending with "\" symbol, that means "field continues in the next line". But the importing tool in GPE does not recognize this coding and thus fails.

Example:

BEGIN:VCARD
...
ADR;TYPE=work:;;blablablabla\, SW?? 8TY;London\
United Kingdom;
...
VERSION: 3.0
END:VCARD

That should be:

BEGIN:VCARD
...
ADR;TYPE=work:;;blablablabla\, SW?? 8TY;London;United Kingdom;
...
VERSION: 3.0
END:VCARD

I hope this helps somebody.
