I suspect there will be 2 tiers of licence: EASA and "National" (bit like JAA and NPPL) and some of the French idiosyncrasies (mentioned earlier) will exist in their national licence and some of ours in a UK NPPL.
That an IMC/IR cannot be added to an NPPL is neither here nor there, as it is currently the case - no change.
Other states may agree to accept flights crewed only by NPPL holders, or they might not - I don't know if they do now or not.
That would fit/sit better with the new LSA-style aircraft which also would not be eligible for IFR flight.
I would also assume that anyone with an EASA licence would have automatic NPPL privs, and that there would be an "upgrade" course available from NPPL to EASA as required.
Of course that might all be completely wrong too.
You heard it here first
