Thanks for the reply but what I was eluding to earlier was how can any approach be allowed to continue past a point where the rate of rad alt change is unacceptably high without adequate visual reference? The EK 380 flight has most probably been conducting a CatIIIB approach onto this runway over the last few days whilst still barely able to see their own nose, can't see why the rules would have to change just because that point in space coincides with the location of the DH for CatII? The AIP cites the "terrain profile" as the reason but gives nothing else away, I'm not saying you're wrong only that it seems inconsistent to me.
