my company ops manual shows a chart which states that (and states that the chart comes from JAR-OPS) - however as I understand it, the chart has been removed from JAR/EU-OPS.
It has reappeared in the EASA OPS CRD at page 210 (6 MB)

GM1-CAT.OP.AH.180 Selection of aerodromes - aeroplanes
APPLICATION OF AERODROME FORECASTS

A number of errors appear to have been inadvertently introduced compared to the JAR-OPS IEM.

In any case, I don't think it implies that you may ignore a limitation - you may use it for planning, and then be forced to use your emergency authority to actually land over the limitation if you don't have fuel to divert.
Agreed, but in every other respect I can think of, pre-flight planning minima are designed more conservatively to make sure that that doesn't happen.
