Simplified IR
Just validate the FAA IR for use in any ICAO/JAA country, then we would all be happy. If it is good enough for a Capt flying a US airliner in UK airspace then what is the problem?
I haven't seen scores of FAA rated uk pilots falling out of the sky.
The handling test and recency is what is required for safety, not useless CAA exams suitable for a 1950 sea captain!
