Yes I agree differences trainining requirements should be centralised, but if EASA moves slowly in response to new technology, the CAA can still pre empt them with their own differences training requirements or reccomendations. See AIC (pink) 31/06 and 32/06 for examples.
My previous example of pilots qualifying ab initio on diesel engines has not yet arrisen, but when it does I am sure the CAA will respond with a AIC on the matter.
