Reports from London and Brussels
say Amsterdam will have trouble setting up a new office for the
European Medicines Agency (EMA) before 2020 and so Milan's
failed bid should be re-examined, Health Minister Beatrice
Lorenzin said Thursday.
"In these hours we are hearing rumours from London and
Brussels that Amsterdam won't be able to guarantee EMA's
relocation (from London) with staff in the definitive office
before May 2020," she said.
"If the year delay were true, I think Italy should imagine if
there are paths to be pursued from a juridical standpoint, as
well as political, to see if the reallocation that was made is
still valid".
Amsterdam beat Milan in a tie-break lottery to be the new
site for EMA, which is moving from London after Brexit.
