Wind limits and JAR-OPS Planning Minima

JAR-OPS 1.297 lists planning minima criteria as

(i) RVR/visibility specified in accordance with JAR-OPS 1.225; and
(ii) For a non-precision approach or a circling approach, the ceiling [...];


No mention of wind.

However, JAR-OPS AMC OPS 1.297 Application of aerodrome forecasts, which gives more detail, says in its table:

Mean wind: Should be within required limits;

What policies do others use for wind limits for flight planning purposes please? Do you have wind speed limits, crosswind limits? Are these based on an interpretation of JAR-OPS or a company policy?

(Please note I'm not asking about the captain's criteria for making an approach based on reported wind, nor the landing itself, just the planning minima.)
