THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ESCB Statute), and in particular Articles 29.3 and 29.4 thereof,

Decision ECB/2006/21 of 15 December 2006 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (1) laid down with effect from 1 January 2007 the weightings assigned to those national central banks (NCBs) that were members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 January 2007 in the key for subscription to the ECB’s capital (hereinafter the capital key weightings and the capital key respectively). |
|
(2) |
Article 29.3 of the ESCB Statute requires the capital key weightings to be adjusted every five years after the establishment of the ESCB by analogy with the provisions laid down in Article 29.1 of the Statute. The adjusted capital key applies with effect from the first day of the year following the year in which the adjustment occurs. |

The last adjustment of the capital key weightings in accordance with Article 29.3 of the ESCB Statute was made in 2003 with effect from 1 January 2004 (2). The subsequent expansions of the ECB’s capital key were made in accordance with Article 49.3 of the ESCB Statute in view of the accession of new Member States to the European Union (3). |

In accordance with Council Decision 2003/517/EC of 15 July 2003 on the statistical data to be used for the adjustment of the key for subscription to the capital of the European Central Bank (4), the European Commission provided the ECB with the statistical data to be used in determining the adjusted capital key, |
