The number of employed and self-employed  persons - nationals of the other Member States, refugees or stateless persons - who are working in  the territory of one of the Member States and, in addition, the number of employed and  self-employed persons who are nationals of non-member countries. This number may be either the  average over the period covered or the number on a particular date. If possible, the numbers should  be broken down according to sex. Moreover, a breakdown should be provided between employed persons  and self-employed persons. These statistics should primarily be supplied by the social security  institutions. If this proves impossible, other sources or estimates may be used. 2. For  benefits-in-kind provided under Articles 19, 22, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 52 and 55 of Regulation (EEC)  No 1408/71: (a) for benefits-in-kind to be refunded in accordance with Article 93 of Regulation  (EEC) No 574/72, the amount of benefits provided under the aforementioned Articles and the  corresponding number of cases; (b) for benefits-in-kind to be refunded in accordance with Articles  94 and 95 of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72, the information derived from the compilation of the lists  referred to in the abovementioned Articles or from other sources provided for under bilateral and  multilateral agreements. This information shall be supplied by the country which has provided the  benefits (creditor country) for each debtor country separately. A distinction should, where  appropriate, be made between schemes for employed persons and schemes for self-employed persons.  Where two Member States reciprocally waive refunds between their institutions, the above data  should be supplied in so far as they are available. As far as possible the statistics should be  related to calendar years. 3. For benefits in respect of invalidity, old age, death, accidents at  work and occupational diseases (pensions) granted and paid under Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and  (EEC) No 574/72 and under bilateral and multilateral agreements or under national legislation: (a)  the number of pensioners residing in the territory of each of the other Member States. This number  may be either the average or the total number of cases during the period covered or the number on a  particular date; (b) the corresponding amounts of pensions thus granted and paid in the course of  the period covered. A breakdown should be made between pensioners and their survivors and between  schemes for employed persons and schemes for self-employed persons. 4. For death grants provided  under Articles 65 and 66 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71: the number of cases and the corresponding  amounts of death grants transferred to beneficiaries residing in another Member State. A breakdown  should be provided between schemes for employed persons and schemes for self-employed persons. 5.  For unemployment benefits: - the number of wholly unemployed persons who were formerly employed or  self-employed and who have received unemployment benefits in pursuance of Article 69 (1) of  Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, -the number of days of unemployment for which unemployment benefits  were paid, -the amounts paid. 6. For family allowances: (a) the amount of family allowances granted  for members of the family of workers and unemployed persons in the course of the period covered in  pursuance of: (i) Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and (EEC) No 574/72; (ii) bilateral agreements;  (iii) national legislation; where these members of the family reside in the territory of another  Member State; where the worker or the unemployed person is subject to French legislation the amount  to be stated is that of the family allowances refunded by France to institutions of the country of  residence; (b) the number of members of the family in respect of whom family allowances were paid,  broken down by country of residence; (c) the number of families for which the family allowances  mentioned above were paid. This number may be either the average over the period covered, the total  number over that period, or the number on a particular date. 7. These data should be sent to the  secretariat, arranged according to models adopted by the Audit Board, before 31 December of the  year following that to which they relate. 8. After they have been analyzed these statistics will be  communicated to the Administrative Commission together with comments, and will be published in the  Administrative Commission's general report. 9.
