This helps determine the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application. Eurodac stands for EUROpean Asylum DACtyloscopy database. Pursuant to Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) No 603/2013, at the end of each year eu-LISA publishes statistical data on Eurodac for each Member State. This report also has a factsheet published on this website.
