The monodromy transformations of this bundle correspond to loops around the points of the bifurcation set. In this paper we show that the zeta functions of these monodromy transformations {reviewer's remark: the inverse of the one defined by A'Campo} can be expressed in local terms, namely as integrals of the zeta functions of meromorphic germs with respect to the Euler characteristic. A special case of a meromorphic function on the projective space CPn is a function defined by a polynomial in n variables. We describe some applications of our technique to polynomial functions. %~
