8.1.1. Asymmetry for mirror flow statistics - coefficient | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
8.2. Comparability - over time | |||
Methodological changes between the present reference year and previous year(s) Data for the years 2008 - 2012, includes cases of double counting. Data for the years 2013 onwards, do not include double counting. For the years 2008-2012, the data collection method did not allow for any further processing. As a result of that each person could be counted more than once in any table. The collection method changed in 2013 and that allowed us to exclude double counting persons. For the years 2008-2012 the following data sets were affected: 1. Templates MIGR_EIRFS variable BORDER, breakdown AIR and SEA, 2. Template MIGR_EIPRE, 3. Template MIGR_EIRTN variable C_DEST, breakdown THRD and TOTAL. Justification of the important changes in figures reported for the present reference year and previous year(s) From 2013 onwards data is extracted from the computerised database system of the Police. |

Links between the statistics on Non-EU citizens found to be illegally present and the statistics on Non-EU citizens with obligation to leave. There is no direct link as the data for those found to be illegally present is recorded by the Police and the data for those with an obligation to leave is recorded by the Civil Registry and Migration Department of the Ministry of Interior. 3. Coherence between the EIL statistics and Asylum statistics The rejected asylum applicants are included in the Enforced Returns statistics, provided that they have actually left the territory. 4. Dublin cases included in EIL statistics and the impact on the totals provided No Dublin cases. 5. Inclusion of voluntary returned Non-EU citizens in the statistics on Non-EU citizens who actually left the territory Yes Links between the EIL statistics and Asylum statistics and details related to the asylum applicant(s) case(s) included in EIL statistics. No comparability is feasible. |

The following classification is used for data availability at Eurostat level: The term "not applicable" relates to the categories of data which do not exist in national legislation/administrative procedures and therefore such statistics cannot be issued. The term "not available" relates to categories of data that exist in the national legal/administrative system but cannot be delivered under EIL data collection for various reasons (e.g. data cannot exist, data exist but are not collected, data are unreliable, etc.). |
