Question Why is EZY not using 'medium' (WTC) accord. JAR definition?

Does anybody know why EZY is requiring 'medium' time according the UK definition of WTC e.g. > 40 tons opposed to the JAR/ICAO definition of 'medium' wake turbulence category?
Some of the >40 ton a/c are older, slower, have to fly lower and are much less well equipped while having much less high tech navigation equip. than some <40 tons (airline ops. aircraft naturally). Compare a B737-200/Bae 146-100 vs. EMB145/175 (edited 30.7.06) as a classic example.
