I almost think it is a typo in the EU OPS 1.340 (b). In the old JAR OPS it was applicable aerodrome operating minima. Now it says planning applicable aerodrome operating minima which doesnt make sense. It is either planning minima as in (a) or applicable aerodrome operating minima...
Looks like someone noticed the typo, Airporn.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 965/2012 of 5 October 2012

CAT.OP.MPA.245 Meteorological conditions — all aircraft
(a) On IFR flights the commander shall only:
(1) commence take-off; or
(2) continue beyond the point from which a revised ATS flight plan applies in the event of in-flight replanning, when information is available indicating that the expected weather conditions, at the time of arrival, at the destination and/or required alternate aerodrome(s) are at or above the planning minima.
(b) On IFR flights, the commander shall only continue towards the planned destination aerodrome when the latest information available indicates that, at the expected time of arrival, the weather conditions at the destination, or at least one destination alternate aerodrome, are at or above the applicable aerodrome operating minima.
