PIC×CWTW where—

“CW” is the weight in tonnes of household packaging reported by or in relation to the liable producer for whom the calculation is being made as having been supplied in the calendar year ending before the start of the assessment year;

(4) Where this paragraph applies, the scheme administrator must calculate the share of the costs of the campaign for which each producer referred to in paragraph (3) is liable, in accordance with the formula in paragraph (2) where—

“CW” is the weight in tonnes of household packaging in the packaging categories in question reported by or in relation to the liable producer for whom the calculation is being made as having been supplied in the calendar year ending before the start of the assessment year;
“TW” is the total weight in tonnes of household packaging in those packaging categories calculated by the scheme administrator as having been supplied by all liable producers in the calendar year ending before the start of the assessment year.
(5) Where a public information campaign relates only to the prevention of packaging litter, the scheme administrator may choose to divide the costs of that campaign only among liable producers who supply commonly binned or littered items of household packaging, in which case paragraph (6) applies.
(6) Where this paragraph applies, the scheme administrator must calculate the share of the costs of the campaign for which each producer referred to in paragraph (5) is liable, in accordance with the formula in paragraph (2) where—

“TW” is the total weight in tonnes of commonly binned or littered items of household packaging calculated by the scheme administrator as having been supplied by all liable producers in the calendar year ending before the start of the assessment year.
(7) In calculating TW for the purposes of paragraph (2), (4) or (6), the scheme administrator—
(a) must take into account all packaging reported by or in relation to all liable producers for whom the calculation under that paragraph is being made; and
