Not an ICAO signatory
Nor is the CAA a signatory to the Chicago Convention. Only States can contract to the Convention.
Not ICAO compliant, despite it being one of the EU objectives!
Can you explain in what way EASA is not complying with the requirements of the Chicago Convention?
So, why doesn't ICAO cease to recognise EASA licences and only recognise those of ICAO Member States?
Problem solved.
ICAO does not recognise licences, it only establishes the standards which must be met in order for the licence holder to enjoy the rights granted under the Convention. EASA does not issue licences, it only establishes the licensing standards for EU Member States. The licences themselves are issued by the competent authorities of the EU Member States which are all ICAO members. This is entirely consistent with the requirements of the Convention. I am not sure what problem would be solved if third countries were to refuse to recognise licences issued in accordance with the EASA implementing rules.
