Do we push for an FAA style IR or do we try and get EASA to approve the IMCR and what nature will that IMCR be.
It's a no brainer - an FAA style IR to supercede the IMCR with an overlap period to allow transition (say 12-18 months).
And I don't trust them either. At the end of the day the powers that be are just politicians, who prove themselves time and time again to be the most self serving branch of society.
