Central Scrutinizer,
Yes the validation does have minimum experience requirements, these vary depending on if it is a CPL/IR or a full ATPL with a multi crew rating on it.
I would also point out that most European Operators use to have fluency requirements in the local language to actually stop non-nationals applying, so the EASA License didn't in practice really create the freedom to work across Europe as many like to believe or make out. That was certainly the case for French, German and Scandinavian companies.
Also as stated in my previous post the UK is only recognising EASA licences issued before the transistion date, some one gaining an EASA licese after the 1st Jan 2021 is not eligible for the UK validation or UK FCL issue on the current agreements (that may change), so it isn't the one way thing that everyone keeps stating.
