The requirement to hold an EASA licence and the status of national licences is established in the 'Basic Regulation' (Regulation (EC) 218/2008), which is already in force.
Seems funny to me that it should be enshrined in
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 218/2008
of 11 March 2008
amending the representative prices and additional duties for the import of certain products in the sugar sector fixed by Regulation (EC) No 1109/2007 for the 2007/08 marketing year
Still I'm sure you're right.
