Only 19 of the 27 EU member states report femicide data in a coherent way.

• The exact figure '19 of 27' appears only in the speaker's own political group press release (pdeuropa.eu, 2026-09-15: 'Appena 19 Stati membri trasmettono dati coerenti a Eurostat'), which restates the MEP's statement and is therefore not independent evidence.
• Independent EU sources confirm the general fact that not all Member States systematically collect or report comparable femicide data, but do not publish the exact number of Member States (19) that do so.
• There is no EU-wide shared legal definition of 'femicide' among the 27 Member States, which is the underlying reason comparability is limited; this context is relevant but does not confirm the specific figure.
