AM: The following not really relevant to the initial question, but have to clarify this: It is is a common misconception that a JAA PPL is a prerequisite. All you need is an ICAO PPL, which is yours to keep. In the case of a JAA PPL, you will loose it upon CPL issue.
And the medical class 1 is needed for licence issue (CPL) and it's state of issue should match the state of licence issue (though you don't usually need a new medical, you can simply swap it to match).
cheers, IP
