Still rummaging through the newly issued revised A330 FCTM and found these:--

USE OF A/THR The pilot should use the A/THR for approaches as it provides accurate speed control The pilot will keep the hand on the thrust levers so as to be prepared to react if needed.
TRAJECTORY STABILIZATION The first prerequisite for safe final approach and landing is to stabilize the aircraft on the final approach flight path laterally and longitudinally, in landing configuration, at VAPP speed, i.e: • Only small corrections are necessary to rectify minor deviations from stabilized conditions • The thrust is stabilized, usually above idle, to maintain the target approach speed along the desired final approach path
FINAL APPROACH Roll out of the turn on the extended runway centreline and maintain VAPP. Thrust should be stable by 1 000 ft. Use the speed trend arrow to anticipate thrust changes and the FPV to monitor approach path deviations. Use available G/S and/or PAPIs as well as the visual picture to assist in maintaining a stable approach. A continuous visual/instrument scan is required to fly a successful approach. An effective scan will assist in highlighting small errors, allowing small, early corrections to be made. A 3 ° slope will normally be flown with a ROD of approximately 700 ft/min; a higher ROD is an indication that the aircraft is about to descend below the ideal approach path. A small correction of approx 1 ° of pitch will change the ROD by approximately 100 ft/min. Azimuth errors will require bank angle changes both to stop the drift and then to recover to the centreline. Avoid using bank angles greater than 10 ° for small corrections.
