Default european full privilege ham licence in USA ?

Hi,

A question about european ham licences used in the USA.
Now that FCC suppressed the Element 1 from the regulation (CW), what the
matter with the foreign licensed ham of CEPT class 2 (HAREC B) working from
the USA ?

Recall : In Europe, all HAREC B are either old VHF amateurs or all new
amateurs whising to get the full privilege licence who, thanks to WRC2003,
can now work on all HF bands without restrictions. So it is equivalent to
the US Extra licence.

Can those amateurs owner of an HAREC B certificate get an Extra class
licence if they work from the US ? If they cannot, what licence will they
get ? Do they still need to succeed an examination to work in all the HF
spectrum from the US ?

At last, an european amateur owner of HAREC A certificate (the old one
requiring the CW) can he get an US Extra class by simple exchange or has he
also to succeed an exam ?

Thanks in advance

Thierry
