Sofia is candidate to host European Medicines Agency

Bulgaria has submitted documents for raising the candidacy of Sofia for hosting the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The European Commission will review the applications by September 30, and the EMA relocation decision will be taken in November.

The EMA headquarters are currently in London. The institution will be moved as a result of the United Kingdom's exit procedure from the European Union.

Bulgaria’s reasons for wanting the agency located in Sofia are well-established traditions and expertise in the pharmaceutical and medical sector and medical education.
