Note that the suggestion is not ONLY an EIR rating. It's a complete review of the IR rating. That means (if it is accepted) that the theory for getting a full IR will be significantly reduced!!.
I think most people with an IR can agree that there is nothing wrong with the practical part of the IR course, but the theory part is WAY overkill.
What the current document describes is both a reduction in the theory (and it will be the same for IR and EIR), and the possibility to first go for an EIR, and then later take the additional 25 hours and get the full IR.
