In the future under EASA the licences will be the same as the format used across Europe. This format is a single sheet that concertinas out and has all the details on including ratings revalidations. It's not much bigger than a credit card when folded up and comes in a clear plastic wallet! So no pooh browns, sky blues or snot greens. It's only the the UK that uses the cumbersome wallets. The rest of the JAA/EASA countries have something you can carry In your wallet.
