Centaurus - NATS UK ATC teach that 50% power loss or more is a MAYDAY, anything less then just a PAN unless a MAYDAY is declared anyway from the cockpit. Our aerodromes have their own emergency catergories and therefore even if you call a PAN with engine shutdown on a 2 engined jet, expect the whole county's emergency services waiting when you land.
