Today with a Secret Vote, EU Countries Decide Location of Two Euro-agencies after Brexit - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency

At the EU Council in Brussels by secret ballot today will be designated the cities that will host two European agencies - the European Medicines Agency and the European Banking Authority after Brexit, reports sega.

They are currently in London.

A total of 19 European cities were proposed to host the Medicines Agency. For now, Bratislava and Milan are the favorites. Of the eight candidates for the European Banking Authority with the most chances are Frankfurt and Vienna. Bulgaria has also submitted its application to the Medicines Agency, but received one of the lowest ratings from the European Commission.

At the suggestion of the Estonian Presidency, ballot papers will be burned after the election.

... to Germany. Far from German Business leaning on Barnier to give the UK a good trade deal, it's likely that German Business will be a net beneficiary from Brexit.

If the skilled workers go with the jobs, that will be a boost to addressing net immigration.

Amsterdam gets the EMA... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42050742

That’s 900 direct jobs, then there’s the ancillary ones and the income generated by hotels and venues for the many meetings they have.

You betcha they are leaning on Barnier - to hold the line, as this is the best way for them to gain new business...

The saboteur MSM conveniently ignores the new jobs to be created by the Anglo Narnian Unicorn Syndicate.

A friend of mine will lose her job as a direct result of the medicines agency moving out of the UK. She has 2 young children, but thankfully her husband's job in pharma is currently still safe. There is a very human side to Brexit that the idiots who voted out choose to ignore.

Seriously??

And we all get to vote on companies that go bust or decide to downsize to line someone's pockets do we?

All decisions made have consequences - there is always someone to blame.

Not wishing to piss on her bonfire but no one was thinking about her specifically when they voted.

Fookin snowflake thinking.
