Narrative:

During flap retraction, received an ECAM warning of loss of the entire green hydraulic system fluid. Overhead panel showed loss of all green hydraulic quantity. Notified ATC, declared an emergency and requested vector to remain in vicinity of airport while we ran checklists. Completed checklist items and manually extended the landing gear. Vectored for an ILS approach to runway 36C at mem. Made an overweight landing at minimum (approximately 250 FPM) sink rate. Touchdown, landing and rollout normal. Stopped aircraft and shut down on runway for maintenance tow to ramp. Maintenance did not bring a headset along to communicate with cockpit. I'd suggest all such events require maintenance bring adequate communications gear.
