On asn.fr, ASN has also published an information file presenting the transport of radioactive substances. 4.5 Participation in international relations in the transport sector International regulations are drafted and implemented as a result of fruitful exchanges between countries. ASN incorporates these exchanges into a process of continuous improvement in the level of safety of radioactive substance transports, and encourages exchanges with its counterparts in other States. 4.5.1 Work of the European Association of Competent Authorities on transport A European Association of Competent Authorities on the Transport of Radioactive Material (EACA) was created in 2008. Its purpose is to promote the harmonisation of practices in the regulation of the safety of transport of radioactive substances, and to encourage exchanges and OEF between the various Authorities. France, which initiated the creation of this association, plays an active part in its work, including by presenting its views on the regulatory changes that may be needed, in particular on the occasion of the association’s annual meeting.
