Narrative:
At FL350; approximately 300 NM from our destination; we received the ECAM message '#2 engine fuel filter clog.' we followed the appropriate ECAM and QRH procedures but the problem persisted. We left the right engine at idle for the remainder of flight; used manual fuel feed procedures; started the APU as a precaution; declared an emergency and elected to continue to our destination where we made an uneventful approach and landing using 20/20 final flap setting with the right engine still at idle power. We canceled the emergency after clearing the runway.
