Three countries pull out of medicines agency Brexit race
By EUobserver
Croatia, Ireland and Malta have pulled out of the race to host the European Medicines Agency (EMA) ahead of a complex ballot later on Monday to pick the new home for the agency as Britain leaves the bloc. That leaves 16 cities competing to host the London-based EMA. Ireland is still in the race to host the European Banking Authority (EBA), along with seven other cities.
