This Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026\/49 modifies Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021\/2223 to keep the central repository for reporting and statistics current. The core update involves incorporating statistical data originating from Regulations (EU) 2021\/1134 and (EU) 2025\/12. The main goal is to ensure that the central repository can supply cross-system statistical data and analytical reporting within the EU\u2019s interoperability framework for information systems.
\nThe amendments broaden the definition of “statistical data” to include data from Regulations (EU) 2024\/982, (EU) 2024\/1358, (EU) 2025\/12, and (EU) 2025\/13. It also specifies the inclusion of technical functioning reports and expands the range of reports and statistics the central repository must hold, particularly concerning visa information and advance passenger information. <\/p>\n

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026\/49 of 11\u00a0December 2025 amending Delegated Regulation (EU)\u00a02021\/2223 supplementing Regulation (EU)\u00a02019\/817 of the European Parliament and of the Council with detailed rules on the operation of the central repository for reporting and statistics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026\/49 amends Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021\/2223, which supplements Regulation (EU) 2019\/817. The main goal is to update the rules for the operation of the central repository for reporting and statistics by incorporating statistical data derived from new regulations (EU) 2021\/1134 and (EU) 2025\/12. This ensures that the central repository can effectively provide cross-system statistical data and analytical reporting for policy, operational, and data quality purposes within the EU’s interoperability framework for information systems.<\/p>\n

The structure of the regulation is straightforward. It consists of two articles: Article 1 details the amendments to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021\/2223, and Article 2 specifies the date of entry into force. The amendments primarily focus on updating the definition of “statistical data” to include data from newer regulations, adding provisions for technical functioning reports, and expanding the types of reports and statistics the central repository must contain. Compared to the previous version, this regulation broadens the scope of data included in the central repository to reflect recent legislative changes.<\/p>\n

The most important provisions for practical use include the updated definition of statistical data in Article 1(1), which now encompasses data from Regulations (EU) 2024\/982, (EU) 2024\/1358, (EU) 2025\/12, and (EU) 2025\/13. Additionally, the inclusion of statistics necessary for technical functioning reports, as stated in Article 2(a), and the detailed list of reports and statistics related to visa information and advance passenger information in Article 2(b), are crucial for stakeholders who rely on the central repository for data analysis and reporting. These changes ensure that the central repository remains a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for EU information system statistics.<\/p>\n
