The hearing will consist of two panels, focusing on the specificities of the EU regulatory approval process for EDCs, and whether it could be conceived differently in the future.

As a consequence of UK withdrawal from the EU, EMA has to be relocated from London to one of the 27 Member States. On 20 November 2017, the 27 selected Amsterdam for the new EMA seat where it would be first transferred to a temporary location and only after to its final headquarters (Vivaldi Building). A delegation of six ENVI MEPs carried out a fact-finding mission to Amsterdam on Thursday 22 February to visit EMA's temporary location and future headquarters and to meet with Dutch authorities. The ENVI Rapporteur regrets that the European Parliament was not fully and properly involved in the EMA relocation decision and calls on the UK and Dutch governments to cover all the costs linked to the double relocation.
