Brexit Effect: The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) headquarters to move from London to Amsterdam

The European Council on Monday voted to move the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) headquarters and nearly 900 staffers from London to Amsterdam, EU affairs ministers announced on Monday (20 November). The European Banking Authority, also currently in London, will move to Paris.

It means that some 890 staff members will now have to decided whether to stay with the agency – and thus move to Amsterdam – or find another job.

The Dutch capital tied with Milan in the final round of voting for the European Medicines Agency (EMA), broken only by the drawing of lots.
