Maybe TAWS is assumed to be adequate protection from controller error.

I was curious about the availability of a minimum vectoring altitude chart for my area. I found a PDF graphic and an XML coordinates file neither of which could I associate with a sectional or low altitude IFR chart.
European LCC, we use the vectoring altitude chart when applicable
