Brexit
#Coreper approves #EMA and #EBA relocations
On 17 October, the Permanent Representatives Committee (Coreper) approved, on behalf of the Council, an agreement with the European Parliament on the text of the regulations for the relocation of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to Amsterdam, and of the European Banking Authority (EBA) to Paris, writes Martin Banks.
The two agencies are currently based in London, in the UK, and need to be relocated in the context of the UK's withdrawal from the EU (Brexit). The European Medicines Agency is responsible for the scientific evaluation, supervision and safety monitoring of medicines. It is therefore essential for the functioning of the single market for medicines in the EU.
The European Banking Authority works to ensure effective and consistent prudential regulation and supervision across the European banking sector. Among other tasks, the EBA assesses risks and vulnerabilities in the EU banking sector through regular risk assessment reports and EU-wide stress tests.
