Narrative:

First officer called for slats extend at speed 200 KTS. I tried to extend the slats and received a slats stuck indication. Followed QRH and recycled slat handle; no difference. I took over the pilot flying duties and the first officer accomplished the ECAM and the slats stuck checklist. I declared an emergency as a precautionary measure and landed the aircraft at high speed with no slats. Taxied to gate and maintenance did something in the cockpit and was able to get the slats to reset and extend. This seems to be a repeat item with this aircraft. Local authorities are investigating the incident. First officer did excellent job of running all the checklists. Find out what is causing the slats to not extend and fix the problem correctly.
