2.1. Data description | |||
1. Introduction This metadata information is provided by national authorities to ensure compliance with the requirements of Articles 5 and 7 of Regulation 862/2007 on Community Statistics on Migration and International Protection. As required by Article 9 of the Regulation 862/2007, Member States must report to Eurostat on the data sources used, the reasons for the selection of these sources and the effects of the selected data on the quality of the statistics. Member States shall provide it with all the information necessary to evaluate the quality, comparability and completeness of the statistical information. The reference terms for the assessment of quality compliance are provided by Eurostat in the EIL technical guidelines applied for 2014 reference period (See section 3.4 Statistical concepts and definitions from the EIL ESMS file).
2. General description of the statistical domain at national level EIL National System (level of development, main changes that affected the system in the last years and further development) Not available information. Legal national framework relevant for EIL statistics Aliens Act Institutional infrastructure (list of the institutions involved in managing the EIL registers and the institutions involved in the production of the EIL statistics) Finnish Immigration Service, National Bureau of Investigation (Police), Finnish Border Guard General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens refused entry at the external borders When filling in the national / EU refusal of entry-form, the data will automatically be transferred to the RVT database General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens found to be illegally present Y2: The basic data for the statistics is retrieved from the case management database of the law enforcement authorities PATJA, including case data concerning violations against Aliens Act and asylum applications which are registered in the beginning of the process by the police or border authorities.
General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens ordered to leave The decisions are registered in the national UMA-database General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens returned following an order to leave The decisions are registered in the national UMA-database
3. Main problems that affect the quality of the data and what tables are concerned including the compliance status with the definitions from EIL Technical Guideline (See metadata information including concepts and definitions from the EIL ESMS file) As regards statistics concerning non-EU citizens found to be illegally present, non-recording of complete data about whether the requirements of legal entrance or stay in the country are met among asylum seekers affects the quality of the data; improved procedure to collect the necessary information is being prepared. |

National systematic process of gathering data for official statistics. At Finnish Immigration Service the main source for data is national UMA-register that covers applications and decisions falling under service's competence. Data is extracted either directly from the register or from datawarehouse, which is based on the register. The data is then verified and checked in co-operation with the decision units and then published on our web-site. Available on the web-site is also a statistical application for web-users. |

Description of the data validation system at national level As regards statistics on illegal stay (Y2), validation process is to be established (for the part of the NBI in cooperation with border authorities) in connection of ongoing improvement of the statistics procedure and data availability. This includes in particular checks of consistency and changes over time, integrity and timeliness of basic data and double counting.

8. The definition of “refused Non-EU citizens” applied The Schengen Borders Code's refusal definition is applies for the Statistics reported to Eurostat

A Non-EU citizen is registered as illegally present when he or she is officially found to be in Finland and does not fulfil, or no longer fulfil the conditions for stay, work or residence after the rules in the Finnish Aliens Act. This means that even short overstays (starting form one day) are recorded in the statistics.

Methodological changes between the present reference year and previous year(s) Finnish Immigration Service: No methological changes in previous years. National Bureau of Investigation: - Y2: The methodology of the national data collection and statistics for third country nationals found to be illegally present has been revised in 2017 as the former collection and counting process has been found insufficient both with regard to data coverage and criteria. Therefore the figures for 2017 are not comparable to former annual figures. The improved methodology ensures the inclusion of all national basic data and the selection criteria are harmonized to the best possible extent to the EIL criteria, including the draft EIL criteria discussed in 2017. Double counting has been eliminated as far as possible on the basis of the data.
Finnish Immigration Service:
1. total third-country nationals who have actually left the territory of the Member States after receiving a decision to leave (Quarterly) and
Above mentioned two statistics on returns were previously including persons that had refused entry at the external border (overlap with the annual statistic
Justification of the important changes in figures reported for the present reference year and previous year(s) The former collection and counting process for Y2 has been found insufficient both with regard to data coverage and criteria. |

The following classification is used for data availability at Eurostat level: The term "not applicable" relates to the categories of permits 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.). |
