MDA changed to DA

Looking at the latest Jeppesen charts for LIRF, they have replaced MDAs with DAs on the non-precision approaches (although the actual altitudes are still the same.)
Does this mean that flying this approach, you have to make a land/go-around decision when reaching the minimum, instead of continuing to the MAPt? In which case, why is there still a MAPt? If not, why are they caling it DA?
Confused......?? Help!
