I think that is what the report says.
At the point when the right engine began to lose thrust the data indicated that the right engine EEC responded correctly to a reduction in fuel flow to the right engine, followed by a similar
response from the left EEC when fuel flow to the left engine diminished.
The quote says specifically that there was a "reduction in fuel flow" to the rigght engine, and that the "fuel flow to the left engine diminished"
For those statements to be made something must have been measuring fuel flow, and those measurements must be in the hands of the investigators.
