I should have written
In the belief that the FCL008 IR is doomed.
There are some big political issues with the proposal, which will cause some powerful interests to try to block it.
Should also add that I've got an email from a French pilot saying that the publicity around the French IR is that it is for French airspace only. Of course, if the final regulation doesn't actually say that, and it is ICAO compliant, then it will be valid worldwide, end of story... that is how aviation paperwork works.
