Lombardy Governor Roberto Maroni
told an ANSA Forum on Thursday that the Catalan crisis "is an
advantage for Milan's bid for the EMA" - the European Medicines
Agency, which is set to leave London due to Brexit.
"(Catalonia President Carles) Puigdemont has missed an
extraordinary opportunity," Maroni said.
"He is stuck halfway.
"Now he does not have the strength that he had on the first
day.
"Paradoxically, this is an advantage for Lombardy on the EMA
case.
"Barcelona's bid has been weakened and all of the benefit is
for Milan's bid".
The said that if Milan lands the EMA, its home will be the
central Pirelli Tower, with the regional assembly moving out and
taking up the city's Palazzo del Senato.
