Such Temporary Certificates (TCs) are valid only for UK CAA Part-FCL (or JAR FCL) licence
holders and SFIs whose Competent Authority is the UK CAA
There is a difference (legally) between a UK CAA Part-FCL and an EASA License.
If you have an EASA License then you CANNOT use a temp certificate.

No, its because they are applying a change in EU Regulations.
No, its because they have a lot of applications and only 18 staff who process less than 1 application a day sometimes... fact based on FoI Request.
I beg to differ. Exactly the opposite is the case.
An EASA licence is a Part FCL licence, and JAR FCL licences deemed to be EASA also.
UK CAA national licences are not EASA licences.
As stated by whopity, the CAA in issuing the TC are implementing EU commission regulation changes.
