The control laws on the Airbus 319/320/321/330/340 do NOT revert to 'a conventional aeroplane' until after you have touched down.

Right down to the flare any lateral input demands a RATE of roll - you cannot hold the sidestick deflected during a crosswind in order to maintain a wing down, the aircraft would only continue to roll at a prescribed rate.
