Unless it's changed the JAR-IR minimum training is 50 hours for restricted and 55 for unrestricted (multi) IR.
Ever get the feeling of deja-vu
===================
Okay, now you've edited your's...
What about
:
Do the (UK) IMC rating = 15 hours
Like it, so do the FAA IR = plus 25 hours
Still like it, so convert that to JAA IR = plus 15 hours
Total still = 55 hours, so via that convoluted route the IMC 15 hours has assisted and will count in the hours-count for JAA IR.
Good innit
