If you already have a JAR CPL, then your examiner will fill in a form (think it's called 1140 in CAA-land) saying you've received the appropriate Bi-Annaul or whatever it's called in Europe and send it off to CAA. That's what happened when I renewed last year. He will have a cursory glance at your logbook to see that you meet the currency requirements if you claim you do. But the logbooks will never be submitted to CAA, unless you re-validate with a CAA inspector perhaps, but there's no need to do so.
Now, this is all provided your licenses are ICAO compliant. If they're not, then there might be an issue counting that time. Although, flying time is flying time. Maybe someone else better at this can fill that part in.
