Not sure if this addresses your question but here goes anyway - in my company we have two sets of minima available in the aerodrome booklet, EU-OPs in some, and Jar-Ops in all.

Eu-Ops introduced a slightly different method of calculating RVR, and as such each airline has to decide whether to adopt the new minima or stick with the old JAR-OPs values - you cant pick and choose the best values from each.

Our particular supplier of charts hasn't yet updated all their booklets with Eu-Ops minima so our company has decided to continue using JAR-Ops until all the charts are available.

I believe Eu-Ops allows a 2 or 3 year period of grace for conversion to the new format before all European operators must use the new minima.

Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect or irrelevant
