Good question. I'm led to believe that the EU decision didn't come through fast enough, so they had to go through the charade with the CAA. That became irrelevant as far as the LHR remedy slots were concerned once the EU had given its blessing. Why they ever did that - or indeed, why they were even involved when this is effectively a UK matter with no impact on EU trade - is beyond the pale.
