11/07/2018 (Agence Europe) – There is just one single point between the co-legislators and an agreement on the relocation of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Banking Authority (EBA): the European Parliament's calls to review the common approach to the decentralised agencies of July 2012 to give it more weight in the decision-making process in the future (see EUROPE 12018). This emerged from the inter-institutional negotiations on Monday 9 July and was notified by the Austrian Presidency to the national ambassadors to the EU (Coreper) on Wednesday 11 July. The Council of the EU decided to transfer the EMA to Amsterdam and the EBA to Paris following the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, scheduled for the end of March 2019 (see EUROPE 11908). Italy has challenged the decision concerning the EMA before the Court of Justice (see EUROPE 12053). (SPj)
