The delegation will be led by the rapporteur on the relocation, Giovanni La Via (EPP, IT), and will visit the temporary location and the future headquarters for the EMA. MEPs want to obtain up-to-date information on the state of play of the double transfer process and ascertain that it is proceeding “as planned and with no interruption”. Their findings will provide input to the discussion on the relocation legislative proposal in the Environment Committee.

Next steps

The legislative file on the relocation is to be put to a vote in the Environment Committee on 12 March, and in plenary session the same week.
