At the October 2006 NBAA convention in Orlando FL, the manager of FAA Flight Standards office AFS-410 stated that harmonization efforts with JAA were in progress. Something along the lines of a 1/3 reduction in approach ban visibility minima for EFVS aircraft. Haven't heard anything beyond that.
As you know, FAA has no approach ban for non-commercial operations in the U.S. And the amendment to 14 CFR 91.175 was carefully worded so as to require that the visibility at 100 HAT only be sufficient to flare and land. A refreshing application of common sense, IMO.
