Amsterdam beats out Milan to host EMA
Amsterdam will be the new home of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), a decision made via drawing lots after the vote between the final two contenders came down to a tie.
The result came as a surprise as Milan had led two earlier rounds of voting. While the Council of the European Union confirmed the outcome of the ballot, it provided no official account of the three rounds of voting.
The EMA has been headquartered in London since its founding in 1995. The regulator has been seeking a new location since Britain voted to exit the EU.
