The good news is that EASA (the new EU-wide authority) is making
encouraging noises like saying "we need to reduce regulatory burden" and
"we need GA to be more vibrant", so hopefully they will kick the CAA
into touch (the CAA's nickname in these parts is the Campaign Against
Aviation).
Glad to hear that change may be on the horizon. Good luck with it.
