On this engine type you have a verification check or duplicate inspection.
Two Engineers, one on each side to latch. Then swap over to verify.
The 319 doesn't come under ETOPS.
Ideally the crew would review the log entries before flight and see the cowls have been opened and shut. In practice it may be hard to see that the are unlatched, this needs to be addressed.
