Narrative:

Passing FL260 we got a green hydraulic low level ECAM. We followed the procedure then contacted dispatch to organize a phone patch with maintenance. After conferring with maintenance and dispatch we concluded that we would continue to ZZZ. When we were just below 12000 ft we slowed and; per the procedure; turned on the green hydraulic pump and put the ptu back to automatic. The gear dropped into place normally. We configured early but the flaps were still moving very slowly when they locked up at about flaps 3 degrees. We continued and made an uneventful landing. We turned off the runway using the rudder then were hooked up to a tug to bring us the rest of the way to the gate.
