EPGD CDA

In the Airport Operation Information for EPGD it says for Arrivals -

CONTINOUS DESCENT APPROACH
-Arrange descent to pass 7000 AMSL. Within 25NM to touchdown

-Expect track miles INFO or base leg INFO from ATC at or above 7000 AMSL. Do not turn base leg untill instructed.

-At or before downwind PSN maintain IAS 220kt or MNM clean speed whichever is greater.

But for the arrival STARs its got at or above alt rest of atleast FL200 at 35NM out. So this defeats the purpose of the CDA because you wouldn't make that restriction at 7000 / 25nm out? So not sure what i should plan for...
