No, the ANO will deal only with arrangements for Annex II aircraft. After 8 April 2012, the UK has no power to legislate in respect of EASA aircraft in the area of flight crew licensing.
But that's clearly not the case. The ANO amendments as proposed do legislate in respect of EASA aircraft. They must do so in a way that is consistent with the EU Regulation, and if the ANO were not changed, it wouldn't prevent the EU Regulation from having direct effect in the UK. But the amendments do cover EASA aircraft, even if the amended ANO simply says that Part-FCL, and not the explicit provisions in the ANO, apply to the crew of these aircraft.

Derogations are as permitted by EU law and the UK CAA has already published its intentions in this respect..
True enough, but it would be a bit silly if in 2013 a UK licence were permitted for flying a G-reg aircraft by Part-FCL via a derogation, but forbidden by the UK's own ANO. And as far as I can see, that's what the proposed amendment does.
