Compensation: Delay over Two hours for flight of 885 miles?

IanAndLena

Hi,
apologies if I'm missing something but this page seems to indicate you are eligible for compensation if you're delayed by over 2 hours for a short flight but MSE and other guides seem to say it's got to be more than 3 hours - what am I missing?
Forum rules won't let me post links so it would be https and then eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32004R0261&from=EN

"Delay
1. When an operating air carrier reasonably expects a flight to be delayed beyond its scheduled time of departure:
(a) for two hours or more in the case of flights of 1500 kilometres or less; or
(b) for three hours or more in the case of all intra-Community flights of more than 1500 kilometres and of all other flights between 1500 and 3500 kilometres; or
(c) for four hours or more in the case of all flights not falling under (a) or (b),
passengers shall be offered by the operating air carrier:
(i) the assistance specified in Article 9(1)(a) and 9(2); and
(ii) when the reasonably expected time of departure is at least the day after the time of departure previously announced, the assistance specified in Article 9(1)(b) and 9(1)(c); and
(iii) when the delay is at least five hours, the assistance specified in Article 8(1)(a).
2. In any event, the assistance shall be offered within the time limits set out above with respect to each distance bracket.
Article 7
Right to compensation
1. Where reference is made to this Article, passengers shall receive compensation amounting to:
(a) EUR 250 for all flights of 1500 kilometres or less;
(b) EUR 400 for all intra-Community flights of more than 1500 kilometres, and for all other flights between 1500 and 3500 kilometres;
(c) EUR 600 for all flights not falling under (a) or (b)."

Also Wikipedia: again - as above https and then en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_Compensation_Regulation 

The great circle distance from Reus to Leeds is 885miles which is under 1500km

Any advice would be great

Duty of care (refreshments) kicks in after 2 hours delay, compensation after 3 hours (and is based on delayed arrival time)
