What school is it?
The FAA CPL IR does nothing for you JAA license. It does not make it a JAA/CPL/IR if that is what you are getting at.
To keep you FAA license current you need to do at least 6 instrument approaches and a hold within 6 months in actual or simulated conditions.
If you do not do this to regain currency you need to do an instrument proficiency check with an instrument instructor. Even if you let it lapse for 40 years.
Does not have to be done in the states.
