The most important difficulties in implementing measures to eradicate or control HOs include
(according to both MS CAs and stakeholders) the delays in notification of outbreaks, the lack of
incentives for producers to declare new findings, and the lack of sufficient information exchange/
communication between MS. Beyond these elements, the CAs and the stakeholders tend to
attach varying significance to other difficulties, for example the lack of capacity/resources to
conduct PRAs and to survey for the presence of the HO at NPPO level is noted more by the CAs
and less by the stakeholders.
