The building in Amsterdam into which the European Medicines Agency is set to move as a result of Brexit will not be ready until the end of 2019 or early 2020, reports suggest.
Two unnamed Dutch officials said the building would not be ready to receive the EMA by the time the UK leaves the EU in March 2019, the news website Politico reported on 7 December.
The agency might have to temporarily use other buildings in Amsterdam until its eventual home is ready, it said. However, an EMA official wrote that each of several suggested temporary premises had weaknesses that “raise concerns about EMA’s continuity of operations”, according to an internal email seen by Politico.
