Well, I am not familiar with JAA rules, however I think it is possible to bypass it. If Swedish has an Italian licence and ads a FAA type rating on it, he would need 500 hours in a multicrew environment in order to upgraded it to a JAA one. So, you can pay 10,000USD for a FAA type rating and use the remaining 15,000USD to purchase 500 hours of line training and you will be on top.
