This is where you miss the point entirely. In the opinion of the rule makers you already have an option for flight in IMC it is the IR. It is the only option that the rest of Europe have. So as far as they are concerned this is a non issue. It is only because you have the IMCR that is so easy to obtain that the IR looks so difficult and while I completely agree the accessibility is not that great which is the fault of our own CAA to a large extent, the IR is not difficult to do.
Like I said I am just pragmatic. However I really do wish you the best and will watch with great interest your progress. Mostly to work out where to insert the 'I told you so's'........
