EMA relocation update — It's the politics, stupid!

On November 20, the question of which country will host the European Medicines Agency post- Brexit will finally be settled, at the European Council’s General Affairs (Art. 50) meeting.

Voting from each member state will end months of speculation, and the hopes of 18 candidatures. One lucky winner will take home the honor of hosting one of the world’s preeminent medicines regulators, and everything that goes with it.

As the bidding process draws to its conclusion, The Pharma Letter has attempted to read the political tea leaves, speaking to representatives from the bidding nations and compiling the available evidence to assess the most likely outcome.
