What determines the total fees allocated among member states?

The total fees allocated among member states is determined by a commission-determined formula. This approach ensures that the allocation is based on a systematic and standardized method, typically taking into account factors such as population, needs, and resource availability among the states. Using a commission to establish this formula helps create transparency and fairness, as it is based on research and agreed-upon criteria rather than arbitrary decisions or equal distribution, which might ignore specific state circumstances. This method also allows for adjustments to be made as circumstances change, ensuring that allocations remain relevant and equitable over time.
