Hueyracer - can you quote a reference to the EASA Aircrew Regulation that allows this? Whilst it is true that CPL(H) exams passed or a CPL(H) gained under the earlier amendments to JAR-FCL 2 give theoretical knowledge credit for the issue of a JAA ATPL(H), I can find nothing in the Regulation or its Annexes to support the view that those credits will remain valid for the issue of an EASA ATPL(H).
