Recorded data indicates that an adequate fuel quantity was on board the aircraft and that the autothrottle and engine control commands were performing as expected prior to, and after, the reduction in thrust.
My reading of this statement is that the AutoThrust/Engine Controls (Throttle Levers?) were working as expected however this statement does NOT explicitly state that appropriate commands were transmitted from the FADEC/EEC to all of the boxes e.g. Fuel Management Unit FMU etc that take their commands from the FADEC/EEC

FWIW My limited experience in these matters suggests that it is not what is said but rather what is NOT said that is significant.
