1. The duly authorised staff of the competent authorities of Member States, the Commission and eu-LISA shall have access to consult the following data, solely for the purposes of reporting and statistics without allowing for individual identification and in accordance with the safeguards related to non-discrimination referred to in Article 10(2): (a) status information; (b) nationality, sex and year of birth of the third-country national; (c) date and border crossing point of the entry to a Member State and date and border crossing point of the exit from a Member State; (d) the type of the travel document and the three letter code of the issuing country; (e) the number of persons identified as overstayers referred to in Article 12, the nationalities of persons identified as overstayers and the border crossing point of entry; (f) the data entered in respect of any stay revoked or any stay whose validity is extended; (g) the three letter code of the Member State that issued the visa, if applicable; (h) the number of persons exempt from the requirement to give fingerprints pursuant to Article 17(3) and (4); (i) the number of third-country nationals refused entry, the nationalities of third-country nationals refused entry, the type of border (land, air or sea) of the border crossing point at which entry was refused and the reasons for which entry has been refused as referred to in point (d) of Article 18(6). The duly authorised staff of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency established by Regulation (EU) 2016/1624 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 44 ) shall have access to consult the data referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph for the purpose of carrying out risk analyses and vulnerability assessments as referred to in Articles 11 and 13 of that Regulation. 2. For the purpose of paragraph 1 of this Article, eu-LISA shall establish, implement and host a data repository at a central level in its technical sites containing the data referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article. That data repository shall not allow for the identification of individuals, but it shall allow the authorities listed in paragraph 1 of this Article to obtain customisable reports and statistics on the entries and exits, refusals of entry and overstays of third-country nationals, to enhance the efficiency of border checks, to help consulates processing the visa applications and to support evidence-based Union migration policymaking. That data repository shall also contain daily statistics on the data referred to in paragraph 4. Access to that data repository shall be granted by means of secured access through TESTA with control of access and specific user profiles solely for the purpose of reporting and statistics. Detailed rules on the operation of that data repository and the data protection and security rules applicable to it shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 68(2). 3. The procedures put in place by eu-LISA to monitor the development and the functioning of the EES referred to in Article 72(1) shall include the possibility to produce regular statistics for ensuring that monitoring. 4. Every quarter, eu-LISA shall publish statistics on the EES showing in particular the number, nationality, age, sex, duration of stay and border crossing point of entry of overstayers, of third-country nationals who were refused entry, including the grounds for refusal, and of third-country nationals whose authorisation for stay was revoked or extended, as well as the number of third-country nationals exempt from the requirement to give fingerprints. 5. At the end of each year, statistical data shall be compiled in an annual report for that year. The statistics shall contain a breakdown of data for each Member State. The report shall be published and transmitted to the European Parliament, to the Council, to the Commission, to the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, to the European Data Protection Supervisor and to the national supervisory authorities. 6. At the request of the Commission, eu-LISA shall provide it with statistics on specific aspects related to the implementation of this Regulation as well as the statistics pursuant to paragraph 3.
