Of course not! The only country that sent aviators to the initial JAA meetings was the UK.

The only bridging available is from like licences, like ATPH to ATPLA and back, but you can unofficially do from ATP to CPL.

So, if you have the old licence, first upgrade it with a paperwork exercise to the ATPL VFR, then do the IR exams for the full thing, if you haven't already done that (you mention CPL + IR syls). Then bridge to ATPLA with 5 exams, 60% of which is the same stuff anyway. The UK is unique in allowing you to bridge the exams only, without having the full licence.
