The 'problem' is that the obvious end-game is disbanding the national CAAs.
What including the French ones?
That's because EASA did an under the table deal with the MEPs, to get their votes.
That is a reflection of the desperation of EASA and a confirmation of the mess they are in.
Look at the Carbon footprints taxes! The FAA have already told EASA to get stuffed and that lot will collapse like the rest. A total shambles like the rest of Europe at present run by a bunch of headless chickens.
The IMCR is the least of our worries in Europe and the picture we will have 2 years down the line will not be anything like we have now.
