Report RWY in sight

Hello,

I'm flying a lot in Italy and I got very often the instruction to report on approach-frequency when the RWY is in sight on an ILS-approach. After the call "RWY in sight" we were instructed to contact the TWR.
For what reason do you need us to report the RWY in sight on an IFR-approach?
It happend to me once, that we got the RWY in sight in 800ft AAL and thereafter we had to contact the tower! You can imagine when we got the landing-clearance...
