EMA preparing to move

The European Medicines Agency is preparing to depart London, along with its 900 staff €300M+ budget and 36,000 associated incoming scientific visits to the centre every year.

Britains position in the scientific world is about to get a little bit smaller along with our ability to be at the heart of EU wide medicinal drug policy. We will however still be buying the drugs and adhering to the regulations that we once had a hand in forming, but in future our role will be just buyer and adherer.

This outcome is probably meaningless to the typical Brexiter who view any kind of expert with disdain but really this is a very big deal. The country will not be bigger, better, more powerful or more in control because of this.

You "forgot" to report on the 500 plus hi-tech jobs to be created at the new Leicester Space Park science hub.

Jobs come and go, Brexit or no Brexit

It's great that companies are still investing in the U.K. *despite* Brexit. It is a shame that some are leaving *because* of Brexit.

I have yet to see a report saying that a company is investing here *because* Brexit has made it more attractive to them.

It is no surprise that the depth of the importance of the news item is ignored in the predictable responses above.

A Google tech job or one in Leicester is always going to be good news. What you are predictably missing is just how unnecessary is the loss of influence that the UK will have in the future because of the departure of the EMA. Of course, no-one would reasonably expect a Brexiter to employ strategic thought when they can suggest that losing the EMA can be offset by google (or other) jobs.

Big companies move operations every few years to avoid paying more in tax just like people who change service supplier because they can get a better deal for a time and then change to another one when the time suits them.

Big business is out for itself not the workers or the possible side effects, and when the time is right and the deal better elsewhere they will move again.

Brexit or no brexit!

A snacks company is shutting in the North East but Ryvita is opening a healthy snacks factory near Lincoln.

That's due to lifestyle choices affecting the market.

I want every single job that we can get in this country. Jobs create wealth and so on, and yes, lots of jobs will go abroad due to Brexit. It's now down to the people with vision to create other jobs to compensate.

Interesting that "others" - namely the EU/foreigners/free movement etc were to blame for a perceived problem and different others will also have to be responsible for fixing it.

I think you'll find it was Tony Blair's government that were to blame for allowing uncontrolled immigration, David Cameron's government responsible for the referendum , and it is Theresa May's government responsible for delivering Brexit.

From the Office of National Statistics ;

Since May 2016, the month before the referendum:

Employment UP by 270,000

Full Time jobs UP by 220,000

Employment rate of 74.6%, the highest recorded since 1971

Unemployment at 4.7% the lowest since before the 1975 EU referendum

We've not actually left yet.

Works both ways. Nothing has actually changed yet bar the signing of an article. The stats you posted are of a Britain still in the EU and single market.

It works both ways - we haven't left the EU and things havent gone to shit yet, but we are preparing to leave and things have not gone to shit yet. Well, things haven't gone from bad to worse yet.

Stop being trigger happy to make cheap points and start posting stats 6 months after we have the confirmed leaving arrangements, and 6 months after we actually leave.

Honestly you are being as petty as some on the die hard remainers on here by posting statistics lke that.

Why don't you care about these 900 people either losing their jobs or having to leave the country?

Would you say the same thing if it was coal miners, steel workers, or car manufacturers losing their jobs? I'm guessing you wouldn't.

Or if there are 36,000 visitor to the centre, how will local hoteliers, restaurant owners and workers, taxi drivers etc. feel about the loss of these customers?

It is trolling, would you local pub rather have 98 more people in his pub each day, or 98 fewer people in his pub every day?

Say those 98 stay in a hotel costing £100 a night, that's £9,800 a night that those hotels are going to lose isn't it? A lot of people will lose their jobs as the result of a loss of business like that.

"what does this agency do?"

That is the hub of the matter. It does not really have much to do with 900 people relocating but has everything to do with a loss of status, influence and control.

"The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a decentralised agency of the European Union(EU), located in London. It began operating in 1995. The Agency is responsible for the scientific evaluation, supervision and safety monitoring of medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the EU.

EMA protects public and animal health in 28 EU Member States, as well as the countries of the European Economic Area, by ensuring that all medicines available on the EU market are safe, effective and of high quality."

Vote Leave was about "taking back control" was it not? About a better and brighter future outside of the EU and no requirement to adhere to "hated" EU legislation drafted by unelected bureaucrats. That is how I remember it anyway.

So the EMA is the front line on the safe testing (and safety testing) of all medicines and drugs that are destined for distribution in EU Member states. Their scientific findings underpin decisions made by NICE (in the Uk) and similar national bodies throughout the EU.

The Agency is currently located in London and the UK is influential in the steering of the EMA. Once it has left the UK and we have left the EU, the UK will need to either replicate a national body to do the same job (at what cost?) or will accept without having influence or steerage any decisions made by the EMA.

Losing the EMA is not about taking back control, it is about losing control of a great European scientific institution. It is not about a brighter and better future, unless you consider the loss of the prestigious symbol of European excellence to be a good thing. It will also not result in the need to ignore EU directives - in this instance related to medicines and drugs. The UK will just accept what the EMA have to say unless the UK decides to invest £billions in its own testing authority.

This is EXACTLY what Brexiters were told before the referendum. This institution carries a huge cost because it is a research facility. Its loss will mean that the UK will either have to set up its own (without the scale of economy that the EMA has) or pay for the research being done by the EMA without any UK input.

I've just checked and there is no mention of the EMA doing any research and 89% of that £300 million budget you mentioned comes from fees and charges to companies who want to bring things to market

The UK doesn't control the EMA. It is based here and is an EU institution. No EU institution is supposed to be controlled by the country it happens to have offices in.

This is EXACTLY what Brexiters were told before the referendum. This institution carries a huge cost because it is a research facility. Its loss will mean that the UK will either have to set up its own (without the scale of economy that the EMA has) or pay for the research being done by the EMA without any UK input."

I know, it's pointless discussing things with people who are both unapologetically ignorant of the issues at hand, and are unwilling to educate themselves about the issues.

Just go on their website and educate yourself. Stop being a Brexiter and needing to be spoon fed.

Whilst you are there, you could even send them a good riddance message as you see them as a completely pointless agency.

They approve drugs after the drug companies have developed and tested them. In the UK the MHRA, part of the Department of Health, do exactly the same thing. They have 1200 employees in the UK.

"You "forgot" to report on the 500 plus hi-tech jobs to be created at the new Leicester Space Park science hub.

Jobs come and go, Brexit or no Brexit "

The huge difference is that the jobs in Leicester are not because of Brexit whereas the loss of the EMA is exactly because of Brexit. We could have had the new jobs and retained EMA if we hadnt decided on suicide last June

Yes, indeed, by both sides. Project Fear was riddled with fiddled figures, scaremongering lies, and false predictions.

You implied we should keep it if it makes a profit.

I love the way you think something is only worthwhile if it makes a profit. Should we get rid of the department for education, that doesn't make a profit? How about the ministry of defence? Should we scrap that too? You know that department of health has never turned a profit either!

Britains position in the scientific world is about to get a little bit smaller along with our ability to be at the heart of EU wide medicinal drug policy. We will however still be buying the drugs and adhering to the regulations that we once had a hand in forming, but in future our role will be just buyer and adherer.

This outcome is probably meaningless to the typical Brexiter who view any kind of expert with disdain but really this is a very big deal. The country will not be bigger, better, more powerful or more in control because of this.. So ?

Would you say the same thing if it was coal miners, steel workers, or car manufacturers losing their jobs? I'm guessing you wouldn't.

No body in Labour Party blarted, when stoke lost its pot banks, but to be fair the local Labour Party have done nowt to help stoke, even with 50 years of local power

You aren't bothered by these people losing their jobs. You care if some people lose their jobs, but not others.

Nobody really cared or helped me when I've lost jobs in past, only a few close peeps care help and assist

Yeah it's not great loosing a job, but hey life ain't fair

Only the dead fish swim upstream"

You complain about pot banks closing, because you think those people are like you. You don't care when bankers lose their jobs, or scientists lose their jobs because you think they're not like you.

"The European Medicines Agency is preparing to depart London, along with its 900 staff €300M+ budget and 36,000 associated incoming scientific visits to the centre every year.

Britains position in the scientific world is about to get a little bit smaller along with our ability to be at the heart of EU wide medicinal drug policy. We will however still be buying the drugs and adhering to the regulations that we once had a hand in forming, but in future our role will be just buyer and adherer.

This outcome is probably meaningless to the typical Brexiter who view any kind of expert with disdain but really this is a very big deal. The country will not be bigger, better, more powerful or more in control because of this.. So ?

Why don't you care about these 900 people either losing their jobs or having to leave the country?

As for hoteliers and taxi drivers in London, you will be very hard pressed to find a member of staff or taxi driver who isn't relatively new to the UK. And as you have said many times before, EU nationals are desperate to return to their birth country because of racism, xenophobic behaviour and the poor exchange rate. So if a few of these have to return home, it's not really a loss

And just how many hoteliers be forced to close trim back etc, I can't imagine it will be any and as for trying to get a taxi in London this can only help

Nope I'm not like them, I've only ever went to work with my dad on a Sunday and helped him with the kilns, stacking and unloading ware. Did a bit of maintenance work on the pots as kid, but not really worked there a great deal

But yeah stoke use to thrive, but like lots of industry it went. We need to move on, regenerate re-invent, its the natural way

Something like 27,000 jobs lost I think, a large number on Labours watch. What was annoying was Tristram Hunt saying we needed to stay in the EU to protect jobs in Stoke . Err a bit late old fruit

Argh yes the wonderful Tristram Hunt, a middle class elitist Labour politician, parachuted in o a safe labour seat. If it wasn't for Stoke having a stop on the Virgin west coast maniline, he wouldn't have been able to find it

Only time he ever appeared in Stoke, was when there was a photo opertunity for him to attend. He showed his true colours when the opertunity to be the head of the VA came up, he ditched Stoke, the very place he said he cared about, to further his own personal desires. Labour have used and abused stoke for over 50 years, but we still have far too many people in this city who continue to support this corrupt and self serving party.

Oh yeah we also lost Shelton bar in stoke, when steel virus took over British Steel, and all of the coal mines went after Scargill used his troops to end the coal industry, because he had a personal axe to grind with the conservative government. If Joe Girmley had still been leader the pits would have lasted much longer
