LES ACTIVITÉS NUCLÉAIRES : RAYONNEMENTS IONISANTS ET RISQUES POUR LA SANTÉ ET L’ENVIRONNEMENT along with other new responsibilities. Its key roles are to offer all patients equitable access to innovation and to guarantee the safety of health products throughout their life cycle, from initial testing through to monitoring after receiving marketing authorisation. The Agency and its activities are presented on its website ansm.sante.fr. This agreement is currently being renewed. 1.8.2 – French National Authority for Health The essential role of the French National Authority for Health (HAS), an independent administrative Authority created in 2004, is to maintain an equitable health system and improve the quality of patient care. The Authority and its activities are presented on its website has-sante.fr. There has been an ASN-HAS agreement since 2008; it was renewed on 2 March 2021 for a six-year period. An ASNR-HAS action plan is appended to this agreement and is regularly updated. 1.8.3 – French National Cancer Institute Created in 2004, the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) is primarily responsible for coordinating activities in the fight against cancer. The Institute and its activities are presented on its website e-cancer.fr. Regular discussions take place between INCa and ASNR. Finally, ASNR can also draw on the support of other players at national, European or international level as part of its scientific collaboration. At national level, ASNR maintains close relations with the CNRS, ParisSaclay University and Aix-Marseille University (AMU). At the same time, it is developing partnerships with CEA, companies in the nuclear sector and the Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR), while ensuring compliance with the ethical requirements set out in the internal rules of procedure. At European and international level, ASNR actively participates in research and innovation platforms in nuclear safety and radiation protection. At European level, ASNR is involved in 25 research projects as part of the Euratom component of Horizon Europe, including four in the PIANOFORTE European partnership for radiation protection, which it continues to coordinate after IRSN. 1.9 The safety regulators: an international comparison Table 2 describes the status and activities of the safety regulators. In terms of status, most of these regulatory authorities are Government or independent agencies. With regard to their activities, most of them regulate and oversee the complete spectrum of nuclear activities, including in terms of protection against malicious acts (except for France with regard to malicious acts).
