I believe the approach ban point just has been changed, our company just changed it to the here below. I just could find a proposal of januari 2009 from easa which state;
"The provisions related to the commencement and continuation of approaches
(OPS.GEN.200) include a proposal of the JAA OPSG to replace the outer marker,
previously used as a reference point, by a height criteria of 1 000 ft above the
aerodrome. As new runways are generally not fitted with an outer marker, the reference
point specified in the rule will no longer exist at many aerodromes. The height of 1 000 ft
above the aerodrome is universally applicable and considered to facilitate implementation
since it is applicable to all instrument approaches. The proposal is considered a safety
enhancement because it simplifies the rule and thereby reduces flight crew workload
during an instrument approach. All operators will have the same approach ban point for
every approach to every runway instead of a different approach ban point for each
runway, which is possible under the existing rule. In addition 1 000 feet is commonly
used as a reference point for the stabilisation of the approach in Instrument
Meteorological Conditions. Therefore using that reference, which is a trigger for other
checks, reduces the risk of error or omission. In the same way, Air Traffic Control will
know the approach ban point of all approaching aircraft. The only negative impact that
could be seen was that operators may have to change their Operations Manuals and
modify flight crew training."
hopefully this will help!
