NOTE
From:
General Secretariat of the Council
To:
Permanent Representatives Committee (Part 2)
Subject:
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council
amending the Regulation (EC) 726/2004 as regards the location of the seat
of the European Medicine Agency (First reading)
- Preparation for the Trilogue
With a view to the next trilogue on EMA the Presidency suggests adding the following two recitals,
based on language from the procedure endorsed by the Heads of State or Government
(doc. 21045/17):
•
"The process for reaching the decision on the relocation of EMA is specific to the current
situation and does not constitute a precedent for location of agencies in the future."
•
"The criteria for the relocation of the Agency are based by analogy on criteria for the decision
on the location of seat of an agency set out in point 6 of the non-binding Joint Statement and
Common Approach on Decentralised Agencies."
