THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to Article 29 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter referred to as the "Statute"),

Whereas Article 2 of the ECB Decision of 9 June 1998 (ECB/1998/1)(1) on the method to be applied for determining the national central banks' percentage shares in the key for the capital of the European Central Bank stipulates that the key may be revised before the start of Stage Three in the event that the Commission provides revised statistical data to be used for the determination of the key before December 1998 which would result in a change of 0,01 % or more in an NCB's share;

Whereas revised statistical data to be used for the determination of the key were provided by the Commission of the European Communities in November 1998 in accordance with the rules adopted by the EU Council on 5 June 1998(2);

Whereas the weightings of the national central banks (NCBs) in the key have to be adjusted as the revised data result in a change of 0,01 % or more in an NCB's share;

Whereas, in the event that the figures provided by the Commission of the European Communities do not sum to 100 %, the deviation shall be accommodated by adding 0,0001 percentage point, in ascending order, to the smallest share(s) until exactly 100 % is reached, if the initial total were below 100 %,

Whereas provisional lists of establishments producing meat products can thus be drawn up in respect of Mexico;
