EASA letter, second page, third paragraph:

“….which revealed that more than 260 out of 860 pilot licenses issued by the Pakistani authorities and used by pilots operating for air operators certified in Pakistan are fraudulent.”
Interesting wording there, was it deliberate? Did EASA accuse the Pakistani authorities of issuing fraudulent licenses? It's one thing for a pilot to present a fraudulent license, it's a whole other thing if the authority issues it.... Or, should we infer that the license was issued legitimately, in good faith by the authority, based upon a fraudulent application, whose truth was not known by the authority?
