EAS claims to represent around 320000 pilots and owners, of whom the PPL/IR Europe group are only 0.125%
The only way to dig up 320k pilots in Europe is to count every lawn mower including the one in my garden shed, and every parachute

since non EU countries' nationals will continue to fly in EU airspace using their own licences
It gets even better because the EASA FCL proposal uses the word "residents" not "nationals" The latter is the ICAO option, which I believe means citizenship. The whole thing is bizzare.
