As of 01/09/2015, responsibility for reviewing and approving case files for transboundary movements of waste (which was previously the remit of regional DREALs) was gradually transferred to a single body located in Metz :

The PNTTD is France’s central authority for transboundary movements of waste, including exports, imports and transit through the country (the body does not cover PTOM - French overseas countries and territories).

It carries national jurisdiction, and is a department of the Ministry for Ecological and Solidarity Transition.
Reporting to the DGPR (France’s General Directorate for Risk Prevention), the department is also part of the Sub-Directorate for Waste and the Circular Economy.
