Non-EASA licenses

From CAA site:

http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/2330/g-FAQ%20FEB12_280212.pdf

Q.26 I have a licence issued by a non-EASA country (e.g. USA), how will the changes affect me?

Currently the UK Air Navigation Order gives a permanent validation of non-UK ICAO licences that allows the holders of those licences to fly UK-registered aircraft for private purposes only. With the implementation of European regulations, including the use of the derogations by the UK, this UK validation will remain for private flights until 8th April 2014. From that date forward the UK validation will be valid only for non-EASA aircraft registered in the UK.

So for private flyers at least, two year stay of execution...by which time it will only be commercial and the super rich private flyers who can afford to

I wonder if those member states such as US will reciprocate?
