I have to say that I found the ATC response given the situation to have been odd
Seeing that there was a threat and suspecting a confusion over flight levels and altitude ATC Cleared him to climb to FL300
That is almost like saying your departure is fine you are now re cleared to FL300?
The obvious would have been realising the aircraft was at 2000 feet to have instigated an immediate climb to above the SSA in feet and with the QNH given with a request for a read back of both ?

Yes EASA had a blank Sheet and should have saved the Eurozone £ Millions by taking the FAA system modifying it to suit Europe and harmonising aviation regulations worldwide but then? When have EASA ever done anything sensible which has not been for their own or their chums benefits
there was talk of EASA standardising a transition Level but that went quiet probably too much time in the bars and restaurants of Brussels on lavish expense accounts
