The overall amount of each annual payment is laid down in the agreements concerned and is allocated among the European Commission and the qualifying Member States in accordance with an agreed formula. The formulae make these allocations by reference to factors including a Member State's relative share of total tax and duty revenues from cigarettes manufactured by the company in question, in all the Member States concerned, and the proportion of seizures of cigarettes manufactured by the company accounted for by the Member State.
