"Pressing for" the IMCR? Ahem...
Review the requirements of the UK IMC rating and other national qualifications for flying in IMC and consider whether there is a need to develop an additional European rating to fly in IMC with less training but also with limited privileges
Well, the objective for the IR requirements also starts:
Review the existing JAR-FCL requirements for the Instrument Rating with a view to evaluate the possibility of reducing these requirements for private pilots flying under Instrument Flight Rules.
Sounds similar wording to me.
Either way, Dave Roberts seems to be suggesting that no one on FCL.008 sees it their role to make progress on this objective. So who is, or is FCL.008 going to report back "Sorry, we don't have any expertise or interest in one of our 4 objectives, so you'd better form another group to do this."
For Dave to say:
No one was nominated (
afaik) and no-one appointed to FCL.008 with the specific IMCR retention or Europeanisation of the IMCR agenda.
really isn't a good reason to ignore one of the 4 objectives they are mandated to deal with.
