No, I am right.
99.99% of what the CAA used to call SLMGs in the UK & Europe are EASA aircraft & fall under EASA's rules. The CAA's nomenclature is redundant. If it has a non-retractable engine & a non-retractable propellor it is a TMG, everything else is a glider / sailplane.
You can fly your Falke on your EASA TMG, you do not need an NPPL(SLMG) & there ain't no such thing as an EASA Sport Pilot Licence so you won't need one of them.

The old / current rules are minimal training + check flight to fly TMGs on a PPL(SEP), or skills test if you actually want TMG hours to count towards SEP revalidation. New / EASA rules are minimal training + skills test to add TMG to LAPL(A), PPL(A), LAPL(S) or SPL. I don't see what is so complicated.
