What the petition asks
In the light of the Coronavirus outbreak, negotiate so that the UK does not leave the European Medicines Agency and so ensure in the future we will be part of a coordinated response to a similar situation.
This will allow us to receive vaccines at the same time and price as the EU rather than be alone.
If the UK leaves the EMA we will not be part of the accelerated process to get drugs and vaccines to the population in similar situations. I worry we will be at the back of the queue to receive a vaccine and on less favourable (read more expensive) terms.
