Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
Friday that Milan is in with a good chance of landing the
European Medicines Agency, which is set to move from London due
to Brexit.
"We are in the running," Gentiloni said at the end of the EU
summit in Gothenburg.
"It's a competitive match, but Milan has the necessary
credentials".
The EU is set to vote on a new venue on Monday.
Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin also expressed optimism on
Thursday.
"I can't say much because I'm superstitious, but let's say
that we are totally, fully in the game," Lorenzin said.
"I have just seen a couple of fellow ministers from other
countries. I can't say the name because we are in competition.
"They have guaranteed further votes".
