Dual hydraulic failure and speed increments

Lets assume your aircraft has two hydraulic systems. Under normal conditions, the flight controls are powered by these systems. If both systems fail, a manual reversion mode is available (e.g. Embraer 145). For approach the pilot has to add +30 knots on the approach speed. What is the reason for such an increment? Could there be any other reason apart from an improved control-ability?
