The main objective of Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on Community statistics on migration and international protection ('the Regulation') is the collection and compilation of European statistics on migration and international protection.

This report follows the first one adopted by the Commission in September 2012 pursuant to Article 12 of the Regulation.
In particular, Article 12 states that 'By 20 August 2012 and every three years thereafter, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the statistics compiled pursuant to this Regulation and on their quality.'

This report documents the degree of progress that has been made by Member States, together with the Commission (Eurostat), in the implementation of the Regulation since the first report.
