Can I lay rubber tiles on top of vinyl tiles?

Hi
Originally I laid my bathroom floor using Wickes self-adhesive embossed vinyl tiles on 6mm of WBP ply which was sealed They have a slight "ripple" and look very good and have stayed stuck really well.
A recent decision to update part of the bathroon and use a contrasting colour of tile in the shower area has decided us to change the colour of the floor to complement these contrasting tiles.
I am very interested in using the red Noppe rubber tiles.
This is a 3mm thick tile. (link showing tile below)

Can I simply stick these much larger ( 50cm x 50 cm ) tiles directly on top of the existing tiles? the run is quite small, no bigger than 1m x 4m.
I was intending to use the recommended adhesive for the tiles, (F Ball F58) but I'm slightly concerned about the ripple effect of the tile and that the tiles are not smooth.
Do you think that these rubber tiles will stick to the slightly rippled tiles below?
Thanks Steve

Not to sure, why not email there technical support http://www.polyflor.com/jh/request.nsf/etshp
PS, probably not affect you, but we have these floor tiles in the work on a hallway at a large window, during the few times we get a bit od sun, the glue melts and comes up the edges0
