Romania bids to host European Medicines Agency
Government wishes EMA to be located in Bucharest after Brexit
23 March, 20:10
(ANSA) - TRIESTE - Romania will officially apply to host the
European Medicines Agency (EMA) in Bucharest after the United
Kingdom leaves the EU, according to Euractiv Romania. "We are
bidding for the agency's move to Romania. It's going to be a
tough race but we're prepared for that. The government just
approved a memorandum in this sense," EU Affairs Minister Ana
Birchall said on Wednesday. In seven years of EU membership
Romania has lost tens of thousands of health professionals to
Western European countries, Euractiv reports. At the same time
Romania is the European member with the highest number of
medical graduates.
