EMA Chief Says Brexit Has Impaired Ability To Support R&D
Executive Summary
The reduction in the European Medicines Agency’s activities since the UK voted to leave the EU nearly three years has impaired the regulator's ability to keep up with scientific and regulatory developments, and it is facing more staff losses as a result of its relocation to the Netherlands. However, the agency says it has managed to safeguard its core activities relating to the evaluation and supervision of medicines, and that the EU regulatory network should be able to adapt to Brexit-related changes without jeopardizing the quality of its work.
