We had an ECAM alert for low hydraulic fluid in the Green System. We then followed all procedures.  The Captain made a crew coordinated decision to contact Center and declare an emergency. It was made clear to them that the emergency situation would impact only Approach and Landing at our destination and that further enroute assistance was not needed at that time. We needed specific handling at our destination and I felt that the sooner ATC knew about it the better because it involved not being able to exit the runway; and had our situation worsened at any time; controllers would have some insight into our initial aircraft malfunction and impacts.
An A300 ECAM alerted low Green Hydraulic System fluid so an emergency was declared enroute in order to allow the destination airport time to prepare for their arrival and being disabled on the runway.
