Recital 1
(1) In the context of the United Kingdom's notification on 29 March 2017 of its intention to leave the Union, pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, the other 27 Member States, meeting in the margins of the General Affairs Council (‘Article 50’), selected Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as the new seat of the European Medicines Agency. However, it now emerges that the Amsterdam headquarters will not be ready when the transfer is due to take place and that the provisional location falls short of requirements in terms of space available and the sound administration of public funds; this could detract from the efficiency of the Agency, causing delays in the registration of innovative medicines and advanced life-saving treatments, resulting in enormous harm to European citizens.
