Europees Verdrag inzake het internationale vervoer van gevaarlijke goederen over de binnenwateren (ADN)

The Contracting parties,

Desiring to establish by joint agreement uniform principles and rules, for the purposes of:

1. increasing the safety of international carriage of dangerous goods by inland waterways;

2. contributing effectively to the protection of the environment, by preventing any pollution resulting from accidents or incidents during such carriage; and

3. facilitating transport operations and promoting international trade,    

Considering that the best means of achieving this goal is to conclude an agreement to replace the “European Provisions concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Inland Waterways” annexed to resolution No. 223 of the Inland Transport Committee of the Economic Commission for Europe, as amended,
