Sorry it's a shame but i have to confirm that Skyman68 is absolutely right.
It seems that few wanabees are aware of the problem : the british administration has a very flexible position about the formations into the JAR system.
Some other country just don't.
I don't know about Spain and Italy but in France the DGAC feels free to tell you : "sorry guy but your shiny licence isn't fully JAR compliant because your flight training did not take place into a JAR country and that is a JAR requirement"
