The counting statistics (CS) for charges passing through a coherent conductor is the most general quantity that characterizes electronic transport. CS not only depends on the transport properties of the conductor but also depends on the correlations among particles which compose the incident beam. In this paper we present general results for the CS of entangled electron pairs traversing a beam splitter and we show that the probability that Q charges have passed is not binomial, as in the uncorrelated case, but rather it is symmetric with respect to the average transferred charge. We furthermore consider the joint probability for transmitted charges of a given spin and we show that the signature of entanglement distinctly appears in a correlation which is not present for the non-entangled case.
