DG SANCO Evaluation Framework Contract Lot 3 (Food Chain)<br />

The following table presents the evolution of the number of PZs per MS since 1992. A detailed<br />

overview of the current (2009) situation of PZs and HOs by MS covered by PZ status is<br />

presented in the Annex 1table (Theme 4).<br />

Total PZs / Total MS 92/12 72/15 88/27 85/27<br />

Source: Compiled by FCEC based on Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008, Commission Directive<br />

2001/32/EC and Commission Directive 1992/76/EC, and based on the survey results for the column „To date‟.<br />

Overall, the number of PZs has decreased over the last 20 years despite the enlargement to 27<br />

MS. When considering MS that were already members of the EU in 1992, the decrease is almost<br />

30% (from 92 PZs in 1992 to 62 in 2009). Such a decrease can be partly explained by the fact<br />

that, at the start, if an area was free of a given HO, it was automatically defined as a PZ.<br />

Thereafter, increasing requirements in providing technical justification to prove freedom from<br />

the given HO/s, the difficulties MS had in keeping these zones free of certain HOs, and the lack<br />

of economic interest in some cases in maintaining some zones, led to PZs losing their status.<br />
