The European Parliament's
Constitutional Affairs committee on Monday rejected an amendment
from the Democratic Party's (PD) rapporteur Mercedes Bresso
asking to eliminate from the new regulation of the European
Medicines Agency (EMA), proposed by the European Commission, all
references to the city of Amsterdam as new location.
Sources said this would "complicate" Italy's battle to bring
the EMA back to Milan from the Dutch city.
Italy has appealed to the European Court of Justice against
the November 20 decision, in a tie-break lottery, to assign the
EMA to Amsterdam rather than Milan, after the two cities
finished level in voting by EU ministers.
The EMA is moving from London after Brexit.
