I really wonder if the EASA study which has been performed by Moebus Aviation on pilot fatique will have any influence on the JAR-FTL in the time to come.
The study revealed a 5.5 times higher risk of incidents/accidents with the legislation now accepted by the EU. New scientific data were at the time accepted by the EU parliament as having influence on the future FTL (SubpartQ).
Airline company's are trying to fight this study with all means available.
EASA seems to join the airline side in this matter.
