Beagle,
I may be wrong but I recall reading that the EASA proposal was to permit "PPL FI" instructors to instruct to LAPL (or whatever the licence will be called) level only and that instructors teaching for the "EASA PPL" (again, whatever it will be called!) would still require CPL theory.
Have the minutes of the last FCL1 sub-committee meeting been published anywhere yet?
