This info comes from PPL/IR Europe.
Ah. Right.
With all due respect to them, they have their own agenda and aspirations, which haven't always been the same as those of us promoting the IMC rating. Looking round our hangar, the vast majority of aircraft (including our own school PA28) which are perfectly capable of giving training and passing tests for the IMC rating would never qualify for RNAV and GNSS approaches. The cost of the kit would be prohibitive.
I've not seen any hint or suggestion that there's going to be changes from an 'official' source.
PPL/IR have in my opinion worked very hard to reduce the ridiculous burden for PPLs wishing to gain a Europe-wide IR qualification but only give limited support for what has been a life-saver for 50 years in the UK. I think they would still like to have the IMC rating aligned with the CBIR, which I think is still too high a bar for the ordinary PPL holder.
Just my view
