(recast)
(ECB/2010/29)
(2011/67/EU)
Article 1
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision:
‘NCB’ means the national central bank of a Member State whose currency is the euro;
‘euro banknotes’ means those banknotes complying with the requirements of Decision ECB/2003/4 and with the technical specifications laid down by the Governing Council;
‘subscribed capital key’ means the NCBs’ shares (expressed as percentages) in the ECB’s subscribed capital that result from applying to the NCBs the weightings in the key referred to in Article 29.1 of the Statute of the ESCB and as applicable for the relevant financial year;
‘banknote allocation key’ means the percentages that result from taking into account the ECB’s share in the total euro banknote issue and applying the subscribed capital key (rounded to the nearest multiple of 0,0005 of a percentage point) to the NCBs’ share in this total. Where the resulting percentages do not total 100 %, the difference shall be compensated for: (i) if the total is below 100 %, by adding 0,0005 of a percentage point to the smallest shares in ascending order until exactly 100 % is reached; or (ii) if the total is above 100 %, by subtracting 0,0005 of a percentage point in descending order from the largest shares until exactly 100 % is reached. ►M7 Annex I to this Decision specifies the banknote allocation key that shall apply from 1 January 2024. ◄
Article 2
Issue of euro banknotes
The ECB and the NCBs shall issue euro banknotes.
Article 3
Obligations of issuers

mutilated, damaged, worn or withdrawn euro banknotes may be destroyed by the recipient NCB; and
euro banknotes held by NCBs may, for logistical reasons, be redistributed in bulk within the Eurosystem.
Article 4
Allocation of euro banknotes within the Eurosystem
Article 5
