The newspaper “El Periódico” has published an article about the campaign to host the new headquarters of the London-based European Medicines Agency (EMA) after Brexit. 

The article echoes the opinion of several leading figures, including IRB Barcelona director Joan J. Guinovart. "The presence of the EMA would turn Barcelona into a tremendous great focus on well-being and wealth for the whole of Europe," he stresses.
