All producers must apply HACCP and they should have mutual trust. In individual HACCP shouldn't be any gaps in hazard
control; likewise, there shouldn't be gaps between neighboring producers. However, gaps do exist, mostly due to lack of
motivation. After initial HACCP establishing the motivation drops and the system(s) may deteriorate to a GMP level. It´s vital to
monitor status of HACCP(s) implementation and motivation level(s) on local and national level(s) to analyze changes and draw
conclusions about their impact on the food safety management system at the national level, thus providing feedback for the
national food protection system.
