Narrative:

On final approach we had ECAM F/control slats fault/locked. ECAM message displayed 'do not exceed speed...' of which we were far below. A moment later this message disappeared. Meanwhile flaps 2 was selected and message appeared again. We continued approach to landing with higher airspeed; [the] second page of ECAM was never observed due to flap extension. The only ECAM message observed was 'do not exceed speed....' landing was normal with the higher speed.
