You can add Spain to the list, for manoeuvring in TMAs (simplified). At least that actually makes sense.

Once it's understood there's ONE technical specification and MULTIPLE regulatory restrictions, it becomes more apparent what a freak show this is.

Some entries in the table above are not even factual. Why is the FAA displayed as 500-1500? The threshold for traffic A flying level and B coming to 1000 above/below is 1700 fpm (35 sec above FL200) at the 1000 separation point - assuming the other traffic is there in the cross-hairs and without any gradual ALT capture of the one manoeuvring.
