Beaver, the problem is that it doesn't make any difference if the MEPs say "we didn't mean that". It's what is actually written that will be enforced. This is equally common in UK law, not confined to EU/EASA!
This is nothing to do with NCC per se, just the CAA have decided to use the same date.
The important thing is that this is an operator requirement, so this notice from the CAA affects UK operators. If, as someone has posted, France has decided not to take up the derogation at all then all French operators should already be complying. Of course, in France nobody pays any attention to such regs so everyone there is happy.
