F&R,
In fact, there are circumstances in which Tanveer may be exempt from the exams, or the full groundschool course before the exams, or the full type-rating course, depending on how many hours he has.
Full details can be found in section G1.5 of
LASORS . I won't quote all the details here, because it gets pretty complicated, depeding how many multi-pilot hours you've got, how many of them are on the type you'll be using for ATPL issue, and how many of them are as PIC.
However, if you can find an operator in Europe who flies N-registered aircraft (there are quite a few of them) then your FAA license will do you just fine.
