The Eastern European Borders Risk Analysis Network (EB-RAN) performs monthly exchanges of statistical data and information on the most recent irregular migration trends. This information is compiled at Frontex RAU level and analysed in co-operation with the regional partners on a quarterly and annual basis. The annual reports offer a more in-depth analysis of the occurring developments and phenomena which impact the regional and com-mon borders while the quarterly reports are meant to provide regular updates and identify emerging trends in order to maintain situational awareness.
