My point is that Richard North says that EASA
cannot be doing this because the UK is not, yet, (and may not become) a third country.
Either Richard North is wrong or EASA is wrong - I think North is wrong, but I'll admit this is partly because I think that in general in disputes over interpretation of the rules it is unwise to bet against the rule makers.
