I disagree Sid. English is not my native language but I also checked the French version of EU-OPS to be sure.
If your required RVR is < 800m then conversion shall not be used in any case.
So in our OP first example, landing is not a legal option if RVR is not reported.
Michelda,
I see your point and what could seem strange. But don't forget that in the second case, if let's say your required RVR is 900m, your associated DA will be well above 200ft (closer to about 400ft AAL) where in the first case it most probably is 200ft.

Reason: to reflect EU-OPS DA concept...
