I need to dig out where I read it exactly (I forget as we don't do any) but I'm sure in EU land you are not allowed to fly a level segment at MDA on a NPA unless it is specifically authorized in your OM-C.
Edit: Found it in our OPS manual.
Not sure if it is only a company requirement.. But as a general rule we are not allowed to level off at the MDA it must be treated as a DA.
However... If you do fly a level segment don't forget you have to increase the required visibility as per:-
8.4.5 Approach Flown with a Level Flight Segment If the approach is flown with a level flight segment at or above MDA/H, 200m shall be added for CAT A and B aircraft and 400m for CAT C and D aircraft to the minimum RVR/CMV value
