DFC You seem to have avoided the issue one more time and are just showing how out of date you are with the CAA system. unfortunatly I can't write it in large multi-coloured wax crayon but I will try to make it clear.
Under the CAA system almost all duplicate inspections are done by licenced eneineers. EASA reqires the maintenance company to use a competent person
This is a change as under the CAA system a duplicate inspection is a CRS item.
[SIZE="2"]The CAA did go down that road for a short time but the systen was being abused so stopped it in the mid 70's[/SIZE
EASA is about to repeat a thirty year old mistake and you clearly are to blinded by your own out of date view to see that this is an errosion of standards
