The payments are being made from revenue accrued from the Euro 2000 tournament staged in Belgium and the Netherlands.
UEFA has told its member associations the payments should be used by each country to finance participation in the UEFA European Under-21, Under-19, Under-17, Women's and Women's Under-19 Championships.
For each of these competitions in which an association is not represented, and therefore has no expenditure, EUR27,000 ($26,775) will be deducted from the maximum EUR340,000 amount.
As far as the two women's football competitions are concerned, payments will be reduced by EUR27,000 in total only if an association does not field a team in either of the women's competitions.
European soccer's governing body UEFA is to pay a maximum EUR340,000 ($337,178) to each of its 52 member associations in December and again in December 2003.
