Sometimes I wonder if the EU is designed to just waste money.
It's not. The amount of money saved by unifying standards and having common regularity agencies is enormous.
Someone screwed up big time this time though.
In those situations you should maybe look at the UK and all the extra expenses they had when they tried to duplicate everything the EU did for them with their own agencies.
Sometimes I wonder if Brexit is designed to just waste money.
The EMA had office space in London, which got rented out to WeWork. The space costs 30million in rent per year until 2039 so a total of 40million, if they do not find a new tenant. Honestly I do not get why they did not buy the building. Other then that relativly sensible.
