The committee charged with the "new EASA IR" as well as the EIR has not quite finished yet, AIUI.
Various bits about the "IR" have come out, like a big reduction in the mandatory dual time, and a small reduction in the exam content, and no change on the medical front.
But the EIR remains a mystery (to me) as to how it will fit in with existing ATC practices and expectations. Somebody told me it would always involve a Z (VFR - IFR - VFR) flight plan, in which case I can kind-of understand it, but others close to the job did not mention that.
