Having a licence or the approval issued from an Authority through an approved organisation makes little difference in CAT ops.
Any European wide licence or approval makes moving employment easier throughout Europe. That would be one big part of the idea. Of course if one is limited to speaking English then perhaps one's language limitations could make any pan-European qualification meaningless and hence something to be derided.

The only People that can ask to see an Engineers licence is "the appropriate People" Being a CAA/EASA surveyor or the appropriate Person of an NAA if You happen to be working outwith the EASA area of authority i.e. USA, Australia etc.
