Every indication is that nobody knows what EASA is going to do.
On the one hand they appear positive on the certification front, having approved for example the Cirrus SR20/22. The CAA would have not approved a BRS chute over their dead body.
They are making encouraging noises over FCL and an accessible private IR in particular. But their proposals will never get past some members.
They might even deregulate the VFR side of GA, make it a bit like PFA. This would make a lot of sense. You can get PFA planes that run circles around the CofA spamcans. The CAA's insistence that anything capable of being on a CofA must be on a CofA is a blatent revenue protection racket.
Unfortunately, Euro politics is nothing if not political, so to get committee agreement on VFR de-reg they might well screw the IFR side of GA, which would be a shame since it would kill off GA activity for going places or for business. This in turn will make anybody who wants to do that go the FAA route (which they more or less do already) which will p*ss off the Eurocrats even more than it does already.....
