Upon one or more countries becoming Member
States
and
their
respective
national
central
banks
becoming part of the ESCB, the subscribed capital of the
ECB and the limit on the amount of foreign reserve assets
that may be transferred to the ECB shall be automatically
increased. The increase shall be determined by multiplying
the respective amounts then prevailing by the ratio, within
the expanded capital key, between the weighting of the
entering national central banks concerned and the
weighting of the national central banks already members
of the ESCB. Each national central bank's weighting in the
capital key shall be calculated by analogy with Article 29.1
and in compliance with Article 29.2. The reference periods
to be used for the statistical data shall be identical to those
applied for the latest quinquennial adjustment of the
weightings under Article 29.3.’
