Italy challenges Amsterdam getting EMA

(ANSA) - Rome, February 13 - The Italian government is challenging the decision to make Amsterdam the new seat of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which was forced to move from London because of Brexit, Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi said in a statement on Wednesday. The Italian State Attorney's department has presented an appeal to the EU Court of Justice. Amsterdam was awarded the EMA over Milan in a tie-breaking lottery in 2017.
