Hi!
I seem to remember that quite a few new ATC-units in europe have phased out PSR and are operating only on SSR-replies, however I can't remember which centres/units. Am I totally wrong? Can anybody enlighten me? :-)

ACC in Poland is using SSR only, but lateral separation mimimum is set to 7NM.
Abu Dhabi Approach is SSR only. Seperation is 5nm.:)

Canada has phased out almost all its PSR's (assuming we are only talking of civil ops here).
Norway has only PSR at Oslo Gardermoen and a few MIL units. (Apporach)

Regarding Norway, you have PSR at (at least) ENGM, ENBR, ENVA and ENBO.
I think you at least need one PSR to have less than 5nm minimum sep. (in Norway CAA requires 2 for some reason)

The Eurocontrol 'Blue Book' might be of some help to you. Don't know why it's called the Blue Book but you can get it here (http://www.eurocontrol.int/surveillance/gallery/content/public/documents/SURVSTD.pdf).
