Being an FAA / EASA Licenced Tech from the UK, I agree. I've even contacted those responsible within EASA and the FAA regarding mutual recognition. Unfortunately, these regulations will continue to be formed by those with very little idea of what an AMT, LAE or LAME actually does.
EASA likes to compare the FAA A&P syllabus with EASA Part 66 in how many 1000's of hours to complete education for example - pathetic!
But an easy 'measurable' variable for academics!
Anyway, currently the only place I can locate close to the USA for performing EASA Part 66 exams is this lot over in Canada.

Hope it helps.
