Over 150 forms of impact assessment can be identified using Google searches, with several new forms appearing since 2003. Since then, the popularity of the various members of the impact assessment family has changed, partly in response to legislative and regulatory changes, and general trends in society. The information explosion and expansion of the internet has resulted in a 32 fold increase in the number of hits for "impact assessment", now over 12 million. The conventional methods most frequently mentioned in 2003 had relatively low proportional change over the last 10 years but remain amongst the most frequently mentioned in 2014: risk assessment, public participation, cost-benefit analysis, public involvement, environmental monitoring, and project evaluation. The terms with highest proportional change (i.e. the super-hot topics) were primarily social concerns, including: equality impact assessment, welfare impact assessment, mental health impact assessment, disability impact assessment, human impact assessment, social impact assessment, and social risk assessment. Other terms that had high proportional change included life cycle impact assessment. Information about the relative popularity of the various forms of impact assessment is used in this paper to discuss issues and trends in the broad field of impact assessment.

The aim of our study was to elaborate a system of risk analyse against Phytophtora infestans  (Mont) de Bary attack degree in potato, in connection with climatic factors, in Transylvanian Plane. The risk assessment for potato late blight attack was conducted in tree experimental points located in the counties of Transylvanian Plane: Alba, Cluj, and Mureș. The data were statistically processed using STATISTICA v. 7.0 programme. The analyse of phytosanitary risk assessment consisted in three stages: initiation of the risk assessment, evaluation of the risk analyse, and risk management. Initiation of the risk assessment and evaluation of the ris analyses were performed. The risk management against Phytophtora infestans (Mont) de Bary attack degree in potato initiated involves treatment strategies, using environmentally friendly products, combined to culture appropriate works and strategies, as culture rotations, disinfestations of equipments, and appropriate storage of tubers used for seeding.

The European Commission has strengthened its requirements for impact assessment and evaluation over the years. In 2002, it introduced a requirement for impact assessments for new policy proposals and regulations. Such impact assessments had to define the need for European Union action and analyse a variety of options for action. In 2006, it established an Impact Assessment Board, made up of senior managers from across Commission directorates-general. The Board members worked part-time on the Board and did not sit in judgement on proposals from their own directorate-general.
