It all comes back to self interest. EASA were originally almost disbanded by the Commission for trying to reinvent the wheel.
These are again government job creation with huge benefits to those employed in EASA.
Great pension allowances and expenses allowances and salaries. Who pays for it all?
Re Writing the rule books suited EASA not aviation or the economy of the EU
The simple and practical idea of taking the biggest regulatory system used world wide didn't suit EASAs self interest
Aviation has no boundaries its a world wide occupation with thousand of jets flying into and from Europe worldwide every day so it makes every sense that a common regulatory system is used world wide from a practical sense and a safety sense so we are all trained and fly to roughly the same regulations and no confusion.
In the future it will also be more important for free movement of pilots to work with as least hassle and cost between countries and continents.
There is no sense to EASA or its existence in the size and form it is other than self interest.
To create spiteful regulations requiring dual licensing and licensing which requires expensive and time consuming licenses to be held which hold no validity on the aircraft being flown is pure madness and a complete NON SENSE
But the above is a good reflection of the bureaucracy well known in the EU and all thats wrong with the EU which is made up of numerous self interest pressure groups
