Can't you just get your UK CPL reissued and then get that converted to a JAR and shortly an EASA cpl.
Sounds sensible to me - except once it is valid you can go straight to an EASA Part FCL licence after September 14th (or whenever it is).

I understand that if you had the IMC privileges embedded (and they are still valid) - you will get the IR(R) on your licence. See

Go to the horse's mouth - don't rely on rumours!
