I've heard that converting an IR FAA to IR EASA isn't that much of a big deal anymore. It is called "competency based IR check" but I believe one must have logged 50 hr PIC after the instrument check-ride. But I'm not quite sure about this hour requirement, you might want to get this cleared with the CAA or a flight school. Or perhaps there is someone here on the forum who can shed some light on this.
