Maybe there is a logic to the EASA regulation but I fail to see most of it.
Comparing it with some corporate behaviour I have seen over the years, it has every sign of being a private project of a very small number of individuals, who are running their own private agendas.
The agendas are pretty obvious, when you occassionally bump into people from these bodies. They give you the standard bull***t about Europe needing regulation, but when you tell them you are a GA pilot, they start sweating and excuse themselves. Quite comical sometimes...
So we are getting the prejudices of these few people, modified by the subsequent horse trading among the CAAs of the member nations.
Almost everybody involved is not and never has been a pilot. Sivel has a PPL and occassionally rents out a Cessna or similar, and that is about the pinnacle of aviation experience in EASA.
