Brexit to cost jobs if UK loses pharma watchdog
6 September 2016 - The Times reports that Sweden is planning to poach the EMA from Britain in a move that threatens hundreds of skilled jobs.
The revelation came as the Japanese government said yesterday that its pharmaceutical investments in Britain would probably have to move if, as expected, the EMA relocates its headquarters out of London.
Anders Lönnberg, the Swedish government’s co-ordinator for life sciences, said that he was already helping to prepare a bid for the agency, amid a widespread belief that it could not remain in the UK after the Brexit vote.
