There are several decisions of the CJEU which you are free to read and research.

Usually, this calculation cuts the passenger's way. By way of example, had your delay into KEF been 4+ hours, you would have been due EUR 600 for a Type 3 flight. You are due EUR 300 because your delay exceeded 3 hours on a Type 3 flight and that 50% of compensation is itself the result of CJEU precedent.

You are free to litigate to upset the precedent, but I suspect that most here are quite happy with the law as it is.
