Evaluation of the Community Plant Health Regime: Final Report
DG SANCO Evaluation Framework Contract Lot 3 (Food Chain)
limited number of HOs than the full list (in total, the 27 MS are prioritising on 86 HOs, not all of
which are listed in the Directive). Responses indicated that currently less than 40 HOs are a
priority for more than 1 MS, and 20 of these HOs are a priority for more than 5 MS. These
priority HOs appear to occupy most of the staff time at MS plant health services. Similarly, it
appears that 20-30 HOs are taking most of the time of SANCO plant health services.

These results should not be read to suggest that MS CAs or SANCO ‗limit‘ themselves to a finite
number of HOs, nor that the current focus currently reflects optimal cost-effectiveness (i.e. that
MS are necessarily focussing on the HOs that provide the best cost-benefit ratio). They simply
indicate that, as it currently stands:
The resources of MS NPPOs are mostly used on a relatively narrower range of HOs than
the full lists of the base Directive (and this may well reflect national or regional priorities);
