Pensador, It is in our FCTM (flight crew training manual) not the FCOM.
But maybe we could be having different FCTMs as Airbus has customized ours.
As far as Vfe displayed on the PFD is concerned Gary Lager is right, it depends on the Flap Lever position.
The actual overspeed warning, i.e. the CRC, is based on the actual slat position, so as soon as the surfaces retract the warning threshold increases above 230 kts. So if you follow the Airbus recommendation and retract the slats before Vfe - 5kts, you should not get an overspeed warning unless there is a slats fault or lock.
Also think about this, when the flaps autoretract at 210 kts you are only 5 kts below your Conf. 1+F Vfe of 215 kts. How often did you get an overspeed warning in that situation?
