         DECISION (EU) 2015/286 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
   of 27 November 2014
   amending Decision ECB/2010/29 on the issue of euro banknotes (ECB/2014/49)
   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 2014/509/EU of 23 July 2014 on the adoption by Lithuania of the euro on 1 January 2015 (1), in accordance with Article 140(2) of the Treaty, Lithuania fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro and the derogation in favour of Lithuania referred to in Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (2) will be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2015.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2010/29 (3) defines the ‘banknote allocation key’ and refers to Annex I to that Decision, which specifies the banknote allocation key applying since 1 January 2014. Given that Lithuania will adopt the euro on 1 January 2015, Decision ECB/2010/29 needs to be amended in order to determine the banknote allocation key applying from 1 January 2015,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Amendment
   1.   The final sentence of Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2010/29 is replaced by the following:
   
      ‘Annex I to this Decision specifies the banknote allocation key applying from 1 January 2015.’
   
   2.   Annex I to Decision ECB/2010/29 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
   Article 2
   Entry into force
   This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2015.
   
      Done at Frankfurt am Main, 27 November 2014.
