Landing Minima, Speed, and Aircraft Classification

I would be delighted if one or more of our experienced pilot colleagues with European legislation knowledge can confirm the correct answer to this question, please?
Scenario: Aircraft is classified as class C, for example, for landing purposes and the Captain would normally observe the minima applicable to a Class C aircraft for landing. However today he is landing considerably faster, due to inoperative flaps or he is on an emergemcy return to airport of departure and landing over max certified landing mass or other such reason.
Question, if landing speed would be in the Class D speed range, must the Captain observe the Class D mimina even though he is flying a Class C aircraft?

I can find FAA position on this but can't find European position.
The correct answer and even better the relevant reference would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks & happy new year to all!
