Vmcl is the minimum control speed in landing config at which it is possible to maintain control with a ma 5 degree bank when full power is applied. The speed is important because it relates to asymmetric overload.
As was said before, some failure, i.e. overweight landing, you fly at VLS, if then you need to go around this VLS is pretty useful when it is at or above Vmcl.
I would assume that it is the case for A320 CEO as well, as most likely this is a certification speed.
