Bureaucracy raised to an art form.

The USA is quite different to most of the world in this, and now the
rest of the world is getting subjected to this.

Technically - if you have an ICAO recognised license it is relatively
straightforward to validate your license and get a short term EASA
license. Implementation appears to differ between countries. UK and
Germany are probably easier than the rest.

Anyone with direct experience?
