Autoland allowed on ILS CAT II RWY?

Hi.

There are airports which allow only CAT I or II approaches (for whatever reason). No ILS CAT III approach allowed. An example might be LPPR RWY 17 107 FT RA for ILS CAT II.

While shooting an actual CAT II approach under LVO conditions, is it allowed to autoland on these RWYs, assuming of course that Crew is CAT III qualified and aircraft is CAT III equipped and the landing criteria fulfilled (approach lights/RWY in sight).

I believe that if the airport is CAT II only, that there is a good reason, like e.g. reflections of localizer below minimum.
