according to FCL.905.CRI CRI, you can skip the MEP CRI course and need only 15h PIC instead of 30h:
FCL.905.CRI CRI – Privileges and conditions
(b) The privileges of a CRI are restricted to the class or type of aeroplane in which the instructor assessment of competence was taken. The privileges of the CRI shall be extended to further classes or types when the CRI has completed, within the last 12 months:
(1) 15 hours flight time as PIC on aeroplanes of the applicable class or type of
aeroplane;
(2) one training flight from the right hand seat under the supervision of another CRI or FI qualified for that class or type occupying the other pilot’s seat.
Is anyone of you already did like this?

Well not really I am afraid. If you continue your read down to FCL.905.CRI (c) you will find the following:
(c) Applicants for a CRI for multi-engine aeroplanes holding a CRI certificate
for single-engine aeroplanes shall have fulfilled the prerequisites for a CRI
established in FCL.915.CRI(a) and the requirements of FCL.930.CRI(a)(3)
and FCL.935.
FCL.915.CRI CRI — Prerequisites
An applicant for a CRI certificate shall have completed at least:
(a) for multi-engine aeroplanes:
(1) 500 hours flight time as a pilot on aeroplanes;
(2) 30 hours as PIC on the applicable class or type of aeroplane;
FCL.930.CRI CRI — Training course
(3) 5 hours of flight instruction on multi-engine aeroplanes, or 3 hours of
flight instruction on single-engine aeroplanes, given by an FI
qualified in accordance with FCL.905.FI
So, you need the 30 hours PIC on MEP and a CRI-course consisting of 5 hours of flight instruction and a skill test.
