Question Regarding EMER generation system of A330

As far as I know, emergency generator of a330 is activated when main generator are lost or both hydraulic failure.

What makes me confused is that FCOM says something weird i can't understand.
it says
" the green hydraulic pressure, which powers the emer generator is provided by engine(s) driven pump(s), if at least one engine is running "
How is this possible? we need the emergency generator when we have no main generator which can power green hydraulic.


And, FCOM says
" The EMER GEN is inhibited when slats are extended. it can be manually activated by pushing the MAN ON pb "

why is the EMER GEN inhibited when slats are extended?
though it can be simply activated by pushing a small btn.
FCOM doesn't mention anything about what i wrote down above.
So i leave a thread here.

Thanks for your helping in advance!
