With Brexit looming, the European Medicines Agency now believes that it could lose up to 30% of its staff as the agency prepares to move from its current location in London to new premises in Amsterdam. The move is scheduled to take place in March 2019.
As an agency of the European Union, the EMA must be located in an EU member state. London will no longer be eligible after Britain leaves the EU which is set for 23.00 BST on 29 March 2019.
