ASN Report 2020

In 2020, the health crisis was a real test for each and every one of us. ASN and the sector it regulates were also faced with unprecedented challenges. Our institution coped and showed its resilience. This crisis was a powerful accelerator of the transformations already under way, but also, owing to the inventiveness that it demanded, it was the starting point for new regulation and oversight practices. Finally, this crisis reminded all players of the importance of preparedness and precaution, which have already been two ASN priorities for a number of years. ASN will be drawing the relevant conclusions in its next multi-year strategic Plan.
