Flew EMS & Offshore for 30 years like that, question never came up until we encountered Europeans, which adapted without problems. Dual controls, dual instruments, how hard can it be? Sounds to me like some rigid-minded airline background bureaucrats wrote their antiquated and irrelevant notions into your EASA rules. Thread drift, the OP just wants to know how to comply, but then justifying the regs is a weak case.
Malabo, there's a few small hoops to jump through in EASA-land, but nothing great. Heuyracer seems to be creating a proverbial mountain out of a molehill. I'm really struggling to understand his stance!
