Abstract The importance of transverse diffusion for cosmic rays propagation is reinvestigated with a description of the turbulent magnetic field based on toroïdal plasma theory. A coupling between transverse diffusion and parallel diffusion is found to occur on a galactic scale in a number of cases. The radial diffusion coefficient perpendicular to the average magnetic field is found smaller than previously thougth by an important factor. So a better confinement is expected in the Galaxy.
