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) Gathering and processing data for Eurostat purposes are in charge of Border Guard. This process is coordinated by appointed person in Border Guard Command Centre (BGCC).
Legal national framework relevant for EIL statistics The Head of Border Guard Command Centre (BGCC) is responsible (inter alia) for developing standards, definitions and rules of collection and verification of the data. According to the organizational rules, the tasks of the BGCC include collection, verification and processing of statistical data and information necessary to compile statistics for the Eurostat, as well as specification of the methods of statistical data collection and processing by the organizational units of the Headquarters of the Border Guard and organizational units of the Border Guard
Institutional infrastructure (list of the institutions involved in managing the EIL registers and the institutions involved in the production of the EIL statistics) Border Guard
General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens refused entry at the external borders Registration each incident in reporting system. Guideline for registration includes information of required procedure for statistical purposes (e.g. avoiding double counting)]
General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens found to be illegally present Analyzing each incident of apprehending third country nationals. Registration of incident when circumstances of incident fulfil criteria of “illegal stay”. The information about the way and the mode of collecting the data and used definitions is included in document approved by the Head of BGCC. There are also periodical revisions of document, which define collecting data.
General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens ordered to leave All issued decisions are registered in internal BG databases
General procedure for recording Non-EU citizens returned following an order to leave All detected cases are registered at border crossing points (external border) by BG officers. Forced returns (e.g. readmission) are also registered regarding internal border sections
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) 1. BG provides similar data to Frontex Agency and EUROSTAT. Due to differences in definitions and differences in needs (especially regarding return statistics) there are technical problems with developing IT solutions. - Technical problems with creating csv files by using provided templates. - Introducing new disaggregation without any added value – for example Table EIL Y2 (based on article 5.1.b) by sex: males, females and unknown. According to national law there is only males and females. Introduction the third sex is pointless. |

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.). |
