IIRC in the UK you have some sort of "poor-mans-IFR" (no pun intended ;-)
called the "IMC" rating, giving you the right to fly under IMC without
being
"in-the-system".

Does that thing make it to JAR-FCL?

Still available as a national rating valid for IFR only in the UK. The only
difference from the way it used to be is that it no longer gives credit
towards an IR. However, an FAA IR gives credit towards a JAA IR, and the
instrument time for an IMC rating counts for the time required for an FAA
IR. So we have the screwy situation that the usual "upgrade" path is IMC
rating - FAA IR - JAA IR.
