I bet that people will get their EIR, then say there able to fly in clouds, then travel under IFR, then say they are VMC and cancel IFR although it's overcast at destination, then use their GPS to illegally brake out at 1000 ft overhead their destination, and swear to god that there was a hole in the cloud layer when the gendarme asks.
Maybe that's what EASA people want anyway
Well for all we know that is happening already - just as a fully IR rated pilot may be tempted to do exactly the same thing arriving into a VFR airfield. Maybe we should ban IFR flights into VFR only airfields?
Whether the holder has an IR or and EIR I don't see why it should make a difference to their behaviour when confronted with that situation.
