Third country operators
Sorry, under construction
Those are explanatory notes, which with some googling (because you didn't bother to post links) can be found
here.
But these are just EASA explanatory notes. There is no legal interpretation, and anyway EASA does not make law. They have to put everything before the EU parliament, and that have just finished with FCL.
So the current unworkable "operator residence" etc wording is here to stay - much as you wish otherwise
