No majority to stop Amsterdam as EMA (3)

(ANSA) - Brussels, March 6 - It is "clear" that there is not majority in the European Parliament in favour of stopping the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) move from London to Amsterdam after Brexit and reassigning it to Milan, EP environment committee chair Giovanni La Via said Tuesday. La Via is preparing a resolution on the EMA transfer after an inspection of temporary Amsterdam offices on February 22.
    He said, however, that MEPs would continue to try to keep the case open, forcing EU member States to have a new vote on the issue.
    Milan lost out to Amsterdam in a tie-break lottery last November.
