RVR 800m ... Can you request a visual approach

Hello Guys,

So there is low lying fog around the sky is completly clear. The RVR is reported as 800m. You can see the runway lights and all the runway at 10nm out, fine. the fog is just sitting over the RVR measuring devices. Your ILS RVR minima is 1000m so this constitutes a approach ban from the ILS.
Reading EU-OP 1.435 you can have a visual approach with 800m as long as you are in sight of the surface.
Can anybody clarify this at all?
