Practical flight exam

Can anyone point me in the direction as to where it states that if I did the writen exams in the UK I have to do the flight test and medical there as well? I live out side of the UK, with no intention of ever flying there, but in JAA land.
I did the ATPL helicopter exams in the UK as they are the only ones that do actual helicopter related exams, but the hassel and cost of running back and forth with regard to booking and flying in really dragging me down. I would love to be able to just do in the country I live in as this is where I intend to fly......
Or is this just another UK CAA money making scam???

So according to this:

(b) In circumstances agreed by both Authorities, an applicant who has commenced
training under the responsibility of one Authority may be permitted to complete the requirements under the responsibility of the other Authority.
The agreement shall allow for:
(1) theoretical knowledge training and examinations;
(2) medical examination and assessment;
(3) flight training and testing,
The Authorities shall agree the ‘State of licence issue’.

it is possible if both the authorities agree?

Now, who do I contact at the CAA to follow up on this??? :E

You could try the Licensing Depts

Alternatively, wait a few months until the law changes.

And here is what the local schools in the UK aren't telling us.......!!!!

I contacted my CAA who said all they need is for the UK CAA to send proof that I had done my course through an approaved JAA course provider and that the exams have all been completed.
Contacted the UK CAA and explained my situation, and POOOOOF.....email sent to me and my CAA and license transfered, which means, I don't need to travel to the UK for the medical or the flight test, but can rather do it in my home country.......
Now if only all the flight schools would stop BULL !!!!TING us just to get our POUND of FLESH.......
