This is exactly the sort of thing that one expects with

bureaucratic mess!

That sort of nonsense isn't the personal property of the
EU, French or
German bureaucracies. Its common to all bureaucracies
world wide.

In my experience anyway, it peaks in the Indian and
British civil
services, where I'm uncertain which is the worst or who
picked up the
most bad habits from the other. In all cases the actual
job is not
relevant: what counts is who has the biggest/most
important department
and, among anybody above Higher Executive Officer
level, playing
dominance games with one's peers.

Historically (pre-EASA), in gliding world, UK has been land
of free like no
other for gliding. Or at least that is my impression. Maybe
you are heading
to that direction again?

Very good! Is this an example of European humour? From
where I live it looks like we are heading for some degree of
chaos. Even mundane driving licensing looks problematic let
alone pilot licensing. Just hope I'm wrong again.
