FD - while I'm sure your question was rhetorical, I will paste EU-OPS for CATI visual references from Appendix 1 (new) to Ops 1.430 Table2/4/b/6 (my bold) for the benefit of all -

6. Visual reference. A pilot may not continue an approach below MDA/MDH unless at least one of the following visual references for the intended runway is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot:
(i) elements of the approach light system;
(ii) the threshold;
(iii) the threshold markings;
(iv) the threshold lights;
(v) the threshold identification lights;
(vi) the visual glide slope indicator;
(vii) the touchdown zone or touchdown zone markings;
(viii) the touchdown zone lights;
(ix) runway edge lights; or
(x) other visual references accepted by the Authority.

In other words, just about anything that will let the dog find the rabbit.
