ElitePilot - no, this is only the first part of the broader UPRT mandate described in EASA Decision 2015/012/R published in May. NPA 2015-13 lays down the requirements for basic training (CPL(A)/MPL/ATPL(A)) and proposed increased instructor competences for FSTD instructors (TRI's/SFI's). The proposals for UPRT for part-FCL licence holders are still being prepared.

"So an instructor who has received a total of three hours on-aircraft upset recovery training would be allowed to enter a training course that would enable him or her to train ATPL(A) students in the skills, knowledge and expertise required for UPRT."
And an aerobatic rating, which is more in line with pre-EASA/JAA spin/UA awareness/recovery training for the CPL syllabus. It's a bit more than the 5:3 mentioned in addition to the intention that this is only an introduction to UPRT - there will be further training and assessment throughout the career of the qualified pilot.
Centaurus - agree with your second paragraph and with Elite's comment regarding some ATO's including UPRT in initial TR's; the intent of this NPA is to reintroduce through mandate a more thorough awareness and understanding of the recognition of onset of upset situations, prevention of and/or recovery that was apparently lost with the adoption of JAA/EASA.
