European Parliament
delegation chief Giovanni La Via said after inspecting the
temporary Amsterdam home of the European Medicines Agency
Thursday that "it's an intense moment, we asked a lot of
questions and there weren't very many answers" from Dutch
officials.
He said "in fact we discovered that the adjustments to the
office won't envisage a tender, and they think they'll be able
to do it in time".
He added "it also emerged that there is no alternative plan.
If the work isn't ready in time there is no alternative".
Italy has appealed against a November 20 decision to assign
the EMA to Amsterdam rather than Milan amid concerns the Dutch
city may not be ready to host the agency after it moves from
London after Brexit.
The temporary office is housed in the Spark Building, while
the permanent home has yet to be built.
