B737 Single Engine Go Around - Flap Retraction Altitude?

My Companies SOP with regard to Single Engine Go-Around Flap Retraction Altitude is the lowest of three possibilities:

• End of missed approach altitude

• Minimum holding altitude, if the missed approach contains a hold

• MSA

Having just converted to the B737 this seems to involve long periods of G/A Thrust on the good engine, the 5 min limit is a consideration. At somewhere like GVA Max Con would need to be set at some point during the missed approach.

Apparently this is the only procedure that complies with JAR requirements for an Engine Out Missed Approach? 2.5% Gradient.

Just wondered what other European 737 (or any other type for that matter?) operators do in this circumstance?
