The document is in german but as it refers to Art. 100 LFV, it is probably from FOCA (Swiss CAA).

There are definitely discussions going on for a long time why, a pilot should not be allowed to fly CAT SP as long as he seems to be fit, i.e. holding a class I medical.

My personal point of view is: There will be an amendment by 8 April 2015. Imagine what happens if HEMS operators point out that they can not guarantee service after that date without an amendment to FCL.065 or an exemption (according to article 14 (4) of regulation EU 216/2008). And, as such an exemption can not be limited to HEMS only (where is the difference to other CAT operations...), this issue will be solved for CAT in general.
