Narrative:

[We received an] ECAM at cruise altitude; green hydraulic system low quantity. [We] followed ECAM procedures resulting in an inoperative green hydraulic system. Captain and I reviewed all flight manual notes; including required landing distance in an abnormal configuration (loss of left reverser; some spoilers; nose wheel steering; and inoperative anti-skid brakes). [We] discussed issues with dispatch and maintenance control. [We] agreed plan of action to continue to destination. Dispatch would discuss with ATC representative; plan on landing on longest runway winds permitting; have emergency equipment standing by. Captain briefed lead flight attendant. Declared emergency with center; priority handling with center and approach. Manual gear extension accomplished. Aircraft landed on longest runway and was able to taxi clear with differential braking. [We were] towed to gate.
