So let me get this straight:
A Frenchman could do all his flight training in France, complete his DGAC ATPL exams in France at a DGAC test centre in, let's say, July 2020 (so they'd be valid until July 2023). He could spend autumn 2020 doing a CPL and MEIR at a French school (examined by French examiners obviously).
But simply because he elected to have his licence issued by the UK CAA - the DGAC will now not recognise their own (still valid) exams, or Skills test certificates?
If I were that Frenchman, I would be challenging that in court.
