Additionally, for:
(1) Single-pilot multi-engine aeroplanes
Applicants for the issue of a first class or type rating on a single-pilot multi-engine aeroplane shall have completed at least 70 hours as PIC in aeroplanes.
Quite clear, you need 70 hours PIC before comencing the flight training
The regulation says applicants for the issue of the rating, so you can start training even do your skills test. Just not send in the application form to add the rating to your licence until you have the 70 hours PIC. No doubt it will depend on the member state, but the Dutch allow it.
