The EU LAPL will be adopted, though the final details are currently being thrashed out at the EU Commission. Almost certainly, based on information I got this week from 'the horse's mouth' in Cologne, NPPLs will be transitioned to the LAPL, though again there may be a few details requiring 'adjustment'.
As for GP medicals they will be allowed for the LAPL (because it is in the Basic Regulation and member states cannot remove this without changing the Basic Regulation). The GP qualifications are very unlikely to require the additional items put forward in the recent CRD, so GPs should not be 'put off' compared to doing the current NPPL endorsement. The medical standards are set out in the CRD but the mitigating measures for those conditions that do not meet the standard are still under discussion in the AMC material, to be published next year.
