Narrative:

During visual approach; we were extending flaps on schedule when trailing edge flaps stopped extending between position 1 and 2. This caused an ECAM. We executed a go-around to perform SOP's and run QRH checklist. We declared emergency with tower; and requested the emergency equipment to standby for our return and landing. Due to a minor reroute; weather deviations; higher than planned cruise altitude (for weather avoidance); change to our star; we were also faced with a minimum fuel issue. We were somewhat forced to rush the checklist so we could return without causing an emergency fuel situation. First officer completed checklist; but we did not have time to contact maintenance control or dispatch prior to landing due to having to set priorities to prevent an emergency fuel situation. All SOP's and checklists were performed prior to subsequent approach and landing. Landing was at a higher than normal approach speed; and a higher than normal nose up pitch due to partial trailing edge flaps. Uneventful landing was made [and] we were able to taxi to the gate on our own; where we were met by local maintenance. Fuel at touchdown was at far minimum; 3;500 pounds. Dispatch; flight managers; and maintenance were debriefed by myself and first officer upon arriving at the gate.
