Narrative:
At cruise during a normal systems check the captain noted a decreasing green hydraulic system fluid level. Shortly after we became aware of the decrease the situation resulted in a hydraulic green system reservoir low quantity ECAM. We completed the ECAM steps; referenced the flight manual; conferred with dispatch and maintenance control and evaluated our landing performance. With their inputs included we determined the appropriate course of action was to continue to destination. Flight attendants and passengers were advised. We used the gravity gear extension procedure as per the flight manual and executed a normal landing. We taxied clear of runway and were towed to the gate.

Title: A320 flight crew reports loss of Green Hydraulic System pressure at FL340 due to loss of Green System fluid. Crew elects to continue to destination and lands normally after using alternate means of landing gear extension.
