So same result in having a 'special rules' area, but using clearly the wrong aispace class and fixing the problem by adding the no VFR rule
It's because the implemtentation of Class C above FL195 is step one in the SES initiative to introduce two classes of airspace in Europe. (C and G)
Now....it looks like it will be more than two classes after all, but that was the intention.
Quite a few now have Class C from FL100 ish and up.
