Sounds like the PAR controller screwed the pooch on this approach. Are European METARS in feet or meters? If that was a ceiling of 300 meters, he would have had plenty of time to break out and see the runway environment.
If it was 300', we're talking about another story - I have done an ILS in VMC only to enter cloud 50' above DH - ground fog can be a bitch.
