Same verbiage as the Boeing fleets. Right from the Advisory Circular. But on the Boeing you can prevent the throttles from making large thrust reductions. On the AB the schoolhouse answer was to just let the auto thrust do it's thing. Riding the jumpseat I've seen it go to idle, after previouslymaking large thrust reductions, because it got tired of being 8 kts fast due to summer thermals into MIA.
