8 December 2016 - Britain's negotiations over leaving the EU have not even begun and already European countries are vying to host the new headquarters of the London-based EMA, with Sweden officially launching a campaign to become the the home for the prized regulator.

The Swedish Government asserted that, as a consequence of Brexit, the EMA would have to move from its London headquarters and that Sweden would make a good based for the drugs agency, which employs more than 900 staff.

"With one of Europe's top national medicines agencies, an excellent climate for research and life science as well as good conditions for an efficient relocation, Sweden is a good future home for the EMA," said Gabriel Wikström, Sweden's minister for health care.
