Besides, not sure what it says on your license but on mine it says it’s issues by the local CAA on behalf of the European Union, European Union flight crew license. EASA form 141 issue 2
What’s the point of having 27 different LPC forms and 27 different ways of having the PBN administrated when we all fly the same GNSS approach. It’s a nightmare for examiners to navigate thought the forrest of rules when dealing with 27 different authorities. The whole point is to make it one system with one form and one PO Box to send the form to. If the UK is an example of anything it’s that it’s good riddance to them for wanting to keep everything British instead of agreeing with others on one system.
One day the EU will be a country just like the USA and at that point you will have your wish.
For now EASA takes ICAO regulations, amends for local (I.e. European differences) and has to let individual National Authorities do the implementation. This is because the EU is not a state in its own right.
As for good riddance, we share your sentiment 👋
