Don't forget that where you AIM for is actually the point where you flare, not touch down! Subtle difference.
'Aim' for a point 500ft-600ft before the spot where you want to put the wheels.
Don't know about Euro./CAA, but the FAA commercial training is hot on precision landings, and really teaches you to put the wheels exactly where you want them.
