Multi engine instructor currency

Now that JAR as been running for a couple of years how many multi instructors are there that are current.

JAR agreed that a multi candidate must have 70 hours P1 experience on any aircraft before test on multi.
One assumes this was to increase the safety record.
All that has happened is that some very capable new PPl's have been deprieved of the benefits of multi time, new knowledge, skill and judgement.
Instructors skill base has been diminished so making the more experienced more dangerous and clubs with twins sitting around eating into profits, if any.

At least the safety stats will improve!
