If this difference of opinion is real (rather than manufactured in the media and places like this) then things could get really interesting all the way to ICAO dispute resolution. We may not find out until Brexit day because the EU commission have banned EASA from talking directly to CAA to work out if they actually do have a fundamental disagreement or if it's merely other people misunderstanding.
Yes, that puzzled me as well. I don't have a UK issued EASA license, however, on my continental one it says on the front very large "European Union, Issued in accordance with Part-FCL, EASA Form 141 issue 2". Of course that would be invalid the moment my country would leave the EU as it is clearly based on EU and EASA regulations which do not apply anymore at that moment.
