Question F/O Autolands

Oxymoron I know!!

In your company can an autoland be performed with the F/O operating or does the Commander take over prior to the approach?

I'm not talking about Cat II/III approaches but about autoland in Cat I or better conditions. I've had it both ways and whilst I like having the option (long night flight) I don't think we do it enough for it to be a benefical practice.

As far as I know this could apply to Boeings too but its a question asked from an Airbus perspective...
