            DECISION (EU) 2022/2546 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
         
of 16 December 2022
         
amending Decision ECB/2010/29 on the issue of euro banknotes (ECB/2022/46)


THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 128(1) thereof,


Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 16 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Pursuant to Article 1 of Council Decision (EU) 2022/1211 (1), in accordance with Article 140(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), Croatia fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro and the derogation in favour of Croatia referred to in Article 5 of the 2012 Act of Accession (2) will be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2023.












(2)


Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2010/29 of the European Central Bank (3) defines the ‘banknote allocation key’ and refers to Annex I to that Decision, which specifies the banknote allocation key applying since 1 February 2020. Given that Croatia will adopt the euro on 1 January 2023 new capital key weightings will apply from that date, Decision ECB/2010/29 needs to be amended in order to determine the banknote allocation key applying from 1 January 2023,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1

Amendments

Decision ECB/2010/29 is amended as follows:






(1)


the final sentence of Article 1(d) is replaced by the following:

                        ‘Annex I to this Decision specifies the banknote allocation key that shall apply from 1 January 2023.’;










(2)


Annex I is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.






Article 2

Entry into force

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2023.




Done at Frankfurt am Main, 16 December 2022.
