Airbus A330 Fuel Leak Monitoring System

Following the Air Transat fuel leak incident, Airbus added a fuel leak monitoring system to the FMGS. My understanding is that it compares the fuel indicated on board to the calculated fuel. When the discrepency exceeds a predetermined threshold it triggers a warning for the crew.

1. Is the warning an ECAM warning or an FMGS warning (message)?

2. Does the system account for errors in the indicating system and if so how?

3. If the warning activates which procedure does the crew follow (I would assume Fuel Leak Procedure from QRH)?

Thanks for your help.
