Looks like EASA are going to have a wide-ranging impact on licencing in Europe.
Gliders Could Be Grounded By New Law
The EASA wants to unify training and standards across all member states, but the new licence could mean specialist British safety training on how to fly close to clouds is scrapped.

But EASA told Channel 4 News that the gliding community of Britain should not panic, as the regulations are still being worked on and could include exemptions.
Only if the CAA have the time and resources to negotiate the exemptions.
I do hope that the MOD is fully engaged in the debate!
