According to EU Regulation 1178/2011 Annex IV Part MED.A.030 (f), you cannot hold a CPL with a Class 2 medical.

Saying that, MED.A.030 (h) states you can only hold 1 x medical certificate and the UK CAA are issuing persons with 2 x medicals to permit them to conduct certain activities on restricted Class 1 medicals, even issuing limitations not recognised by EASA.

Mmmmmm, really worked, this EASA lark, didn't it?
