Just because they can give you a 1 year validation, it doesn't mean that they have to. It doesn't happen very often. The last time I really remember this happening was about 4 years ago, ATR pilots were able to get a validation to fly at Aer Arann because there was a real need. Also, the UK used to have a validation process but I heard that it is no longer an option (don't quote me though).
From another website I found:

Validation of your NON JAA certificate
JAR-FCL-1, chapter 1.015, section (b) allows the Aviation Authority of a JAA-member country to approve a validation of a non-JAA pilot license for a period not exceeding 1 year. This validation is however completely at the discretion of the Aviation Authority. Most likely the only time when the Aviation Authority would approve such validation would be an immediate need of qualified and type-rated professional pilots by one of the aircraft operators (airlines) in that respective country. If your validation is approved you will receive a time-limited JAA “national” license that will be valid only for flight operations on aircraft registered in the respective country that granted you the validation. You will not be able to fly aircraft registered in other JAA countries.
