Firstly congratulations on a notable achievement. Under the new EASA rules, the Examiner is now responsible for ensuring that the candidate meets all the requirements for licence issue before he conducts the skill test:
FCL.1030 Conduct of skill tests, proficiency checks and assessments of competence
(a) When conducting skill tests, proficiency checks and assessments of competence, examiners shall:

(2) verify that the applicant complies with all the qualification, training and experience requirements in this Part for the issue, revalidation or renewal of the licence, rating or certificate for which the skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence is taken;
That means you now need 45 hours before you are eligible to commence the skill test; something few examiners are aware of. Lets hope the CAA don't notice!
