Genghis I'm not sure how you can disagree with me on the specific point of the wording of Annex II, my statement was a fact about the structure of the way the BR is written - military aircraft (as opposed to ex-military) are not listed in Annex II. I wouldn't rely on the CAA website, since it is a simplification. Annex II does not contain the exact words you highlight. To understand the scope of EASA rules you have to read Articles 1 and 4 of the BR along with Annex II.
Forgive me though, it was somewhat pedantic point - I wasn't really disagreeing with the general point you were making about the implications of excluding time on aircraft outside of the EASA system. The view of EASA legal on this issue could have implications for things like time on 3rd country aircraft outside of the EU (even if those aircraft are EASA types).
However, I wouldn't really spend too much time worrying about it, these sorts of inconsistencies in the way (its usually the Commission rather than EASA) legal interface issues are understood are not uncommon and provided no one shouts too loudly about them they normally go away.
