The EMA, which is the EU’s equivalent to the Food and Drug Administration, is currently located in London. The agency is expected to have to relocate due to Britain’s exit from the EU.
Philippe Richert, president of Grand Est regional council in eastern France, asked French President Francois Hollande to nominate Strasbourg as the new location for the EMA.
European lawmaker Françoise Grossetete requested that the EMA move to Lyon since several drug companies, including Sanofi, are based there.
These aren’t the first cities to put their hats into the ring — Milan, Madrid, Stockholm, Warsaw and Vienna have all expressed interest in being the new home of the EMA, acknowledging the advantage of having close ties with the regulator.
