A330 Emergency electric configuration

Was looking at the emergency electric configuration and it seems that if you are down to the emergency generator, powered by the RAT, for navigation you have RMP1 which will give you access to the ILS and VOR 1 or ADF 1 depending on which one has been selected on the DDRMI but ……..on many of the new A330s you do not have the DDRMI (nice familiar instrument) and your ND is not working (emer gen powered by RAT). So when you are in this situation you are only able to fly to an airport with an ILS? Am I missing something? I realise that the probability of this happening is very low. My question …..How has airbus been able to get certification for aircraft without this stby instrument? It seems that many national authorities have gone along with airbus and certified this?
