Don't fret quite yet, helimutt. Because of the date of your exams and your IRT, you effectively qualify for 'grandfather rights' with regard to the theory credits. You should still qualify for an ATPL when you satisfy the various other requirements.
The amendment will only effect those who have still got to take their exams (or who now let their ATPL theory credits expire. ie Taking the IR exams will no longer reactivate ATPL theory credits.) Or, at least, that's my understanding of the situation.
PS 2007 LASORS was obviously published before this amendment came into force. And I think that it's the 'fifth amendment'.
