Selfin, reagrdless of what you think should be the case, EASA do not recognise the term safety pilot and it is not something which can count towards total time for EASA licence or rating issue. The FAA have a different approach but the person asked what he had to do to make his hours acceptable to EASA. He has been advised what EASA will or will not accept, what the FAA do is up to them.
Please just accept that safety pilot hours do NOT count towards licence or rating issue for an EASA licence or rating.
