Can you imagine EASA
My problem is I cannot imagine EASA doing much at all
I cannot imagine EASA taking on the IMCR in its UK form as a European wide rating or for that matter creating anything that steps on the toes and existing structure of the IFR world that exists at present.
I can imagine EASA looking for a way out from the fact that the IMCR does improve safety in the GA/PPL community.
I can see them offering a gesture as a very watered down meaningless rating with the same name as the IMCR. Then they can turn around and say "there you are a European IMCR so your now happy". The fact that it is a bare ghost of its former self wont matter an iota to them.
I dont know what the answer is maybe just to say " No we need this in the UK on safety grounds and will NOT abolish it in the uk, full stop".
But other than tea and biscuits and appoving burps dont expect anything from EASA like you said i cannot imagine
