Can somebody help clear this up for me?

I am looking at an approach chart in Europe and it is confusing. Say I am doing the LOC only (GS out) approach. I am used to seeing an associated MDA and then flying down to that MDA and holding it 'till the Missed approach point. According to the new Jepps in Europe it apparently doesn't work like this any longer? All I see is a DA listed. So here is my question: Do I simply descend as if I had a glideslope and now go missed at the LOC (GS out) DA?? I ask because there is still a M or missed approach point listed on the damn chart...why would they publish a Missed approach point if I am now to simply obey a higher DA? Or do I get to this new/higher DA for the LOC approach and then hold the altitude and continue to the missed approach point.....this is really confusing!

Thanks
