That question has been asked on an earlier thread. I believe the answer was that the FADEC of the GE engine receives its environmental data from ADIRU 1 & 2.

Note that in the Air Caraibes UAS event the discrepancy between the aircraft pitot pressure and the engine P2 caused the ECAM message "ENG 1(2) EPR MODE FAULT". The GE engine is N1-controlled.
