A.Introduction

Why relocating to Athens? A solid choice, serving the EU citizens and sending out a strong political message – For a stronger and more ambitious Europe

Athens is far more than a modern European metropolis that is hospitable, mutli-cultural, multi-lingual and bathed in sun. Athens is a capital well-connected to the rest of the world that fulfils all the criteria that the European Union has set for the relocation of the European Medicines Agency, following the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the EU.

Why relocate EMA in Athens? We believe that there are solid arguments for such a decision, both objective and political ,which - we are convinced - the European Union will consider thoroughly.

There are objective reasons for choosing Athens as EMA’s new seat:

1. Athens is one of the few, if not the only, candidature that offers ready-to-use, high-quality premises that could also be easily and promptly refurbished if need be. The proposed building offers enhanced amenities to the Agency and its staff (e.g. parking space for almost all the Agency staff, fitness centre, nursery for the personnel’s children, company doctor facilities etc). The premises readiness ensures business continuity and a smooth transition.

2. The proposed premises as well as the Greek capital guarantee excellent accessibility. The Greek capital is very well connected to European capitals and the rest of the world, thanks to an ever adjusting and developing main international airport hub, the Athens International Airport. Moreover, the greater Athens offers a multitude of public transportation means, as well as an excellent road and railway network that render the proposed premises easily accessible from every part of the city and its suburbs. The hotel and convention capacities of the city and the region of Attica are of the highest standards and international reputation.

3. The Health Sector is of increasing importance for Greece, having acquired significant expertise and know-how and constituting a rapidly developing, viable and innovative sector of the Greek economy. The Greek Health Sector has the necessary mechanisms, institutions and academic excellence that are indispensible for the support, promotion and diffusion of EMA’s important work. Relocating the Agency to Athens will profit from this professionally and financially high- quality environment.

4. The greater Athens offers a plethora of educational institutions, from nursery/kindergarten to university level in English and other European languages that can certainly cater for the children of the EMA staff. Many schools offer the International Baccalaureate, whereas there is a multitude of private institutions teaching foreign languages.

5. Athens offers excellent free medical care to all its residents, regardless of their nationality. There are also state-of-the-art private hospitals as well as many major private insurance companies that specialize in health and pension plans. Social security as well as labour market access for the families of the EMA staff are also guaranteed by the existing national legal framework, which could also be amended in line with the specificities of needs of the Agency’s personnel. 6. In addition to the above, the Agency’s business continuity is ensured not only through the expertise of the National Organisation for Medicines and its synergies with the national and European health sector, but also through the flourishing academic and EMA-related professional environment in Athens and the attractiveness of the city for high-skilled professionals. The promotion and funding of innovation in the medicines field is also a top national priority.

What’s more, there are reasons for selecting Athens as the new seat of the European Medicines Agenc closely related to the future of the European integration.

A. A new, stronger and united Europe – choosing a Member State at the forefront of European Integration. Greece has been a staunch supporter of further European Integration. Brexit can also be seen as an opportunity to do more together; this is why the Greek Prime Minister speaks often of an inclusive Europe of many choices. Relocating EMA to Athens is a vote of confidence to the efforts for a European Union that is more united, more functional, more integrated and ever closer to its citizens.

B. A new, more social Europe – doing more together based on our common values and the European Social Model. Giving to Athens the seat of EMA is a tangible act of solidarity towards a Member State, which has confronted the most adverse crises in the history of the EU, namely the financial and the refugee crises, with perseverance and humanity. Now, Greece is in an upward curve and on the path to economic recovery; Relocating EMA to Athens is an opportunity to present to our citizens a EU success story. While our candidacy can be strictly claimed on the basis of objective criteria, the choice of Athens as the new seat of EMA would also be an act of solidarity and a positive signal for our common future. It serves a recognition of the efforts of the European citizens to tackle global challenges efficiently and as prescribed by European values amd our social model.

C. A new, more ambitious Europe – putting emphasis on geopolitics not only on geography. In a gloablized world with transnational challenges, a new Europe needs a shift of paradigm. Geopolitics more than ever is paramount. Greece is a Member State whose geopolitical role, both for the EU and the wider region, is crucial. Relocating EMA to Athens will reconfirm the strategic emphasis that the EU puts on a Member State that is a geopolitical anchor of stability and respect of our common values in an ever challenging, geopolitical environment.

D. A new, more secure Europe – caring for its citizens in a safe environment. Athens is the capital of a Member State that stands at the extremely challenging external borders of the EU and yet remains a harbor of political stability and safety. This is especially crucial in times of turbulence and great security concerns, worldwide. Moreover, the Greek capital is one of the safest cities worldwide, which enhances the quality of life of its residents. Relocating EMA to Athens is a safe bet, in all respects.

In any case, the Mayor of Aghios Ioannis Rentis - Nikaia will guarantee the provision of shuttle bus transportation from and to the closest metro stations, so as to assist EMA’s staff daily commuting to work.

1.1.3 Brief description of the property

The Keranis building constitutes a building of great importance for its wider area, as it used to host the well-known Greek tobacco industry “Keranis”. Nowadays, it constitutes a state-of-the art, modern and ready-to-use office building, absolutely capable to accommodate EMA’s staff and functions (for blueprints of the building, see Annexe I). It was originally designed as a warehouse in the1970’s, in order to accommodate the storage needs of the giant Keranis tobacco industry. The building underwent significantreconstructerion and extension works in the 2000’s, and was converted into a modern office building, ready to accommodate the housing and operational needs of large organizations and enterprises. The building’s shape is a heavy structure body of a cube. The large patio of the building provides natural light and air flow, creating an internal community atrium, allowing working space development around the central core of the building. This central core includes the lifts and lift lobby, shared sanitary facilities, a staircase and a primary service riser. Building depths are typically 13m to allow for the penetration of natural daylight. Due to deeper plan arrangements, new skylights are introduced to provide natural daylight to the office areas. The development is based on a structural grid that is 7.3m x 7.3m. This grid is rigorously applied throughout the development to achieve the maximum efficiency of the structural system. The structural grid is based on the dimension for an efficient carpark layout in the basement levels. The typical floor planning grid allows for coordination with furniture dimensions, typical office sizes, etc. The typical floor planning grid also aligns with the elevation pattern for optimum coordination between the interior and exterior elements. The design proposal for the elevations is a morphological grid of symmetrical openings to provide natural daylight with a regular but dynamic pattern of cladding panels. All window openings apply a vertical mechanical louver system made of aluminum to avoid the high heat, during the summer period. Below window cills, solid parts of the southern elevations are formed with the use of “trombe wall” providing heated air especially during winter days of sunshine. The development of the elevation pattern is based on fulfillment of the requirements for the thermal insulation of the building. The

Greece’s candidacy to host the “European Medicines Agency” in Athens 13

objective was to achieve at least 30% of the surface area with closed high thermal insulating materials to satisfy regulatory and environmental considerations, but also to maintain a high level of transparency, as is expected for a contemporary office building. The building features security control spaces by the two separate entrances leading to a luminous and spacious atrium. All areas of the building feature high security standards including CCTV security systems, as well as fire protection. There is also an advanced IT network and data storage system, providing voice and data connection capabilities for all workspaces and areas of the building. The network complies to security and operational IT standards, while supporting 4G connection. The building has never been properly occupied, therefore its structural elements, its furniture and installed equipment, as well as its E/M installations are in mint condition. The Keranis building includes ample office, meeting, and storage spaces, function rooms for conferences and cultural events, fitness center, restaurants and refreshment points for employees, as well as a nursery for the children of the employees.

1.1.4 Building’s spaces

The building has a total surface of approximately 44,800 m2, consisting of one (1) basement, ground floor and six (6) upper floors. There are four elevator pairs one in every sector near the main stairwell, each with a capacity of 12 persons or 900 kg. Floor areas are partitioned so that to serve the following uses: offices, hygiene facilities, corridors/circulation areas (including staircases, lifts…), conference rooms, nursery etc. Office areas exist in all floors, including the ground floor.The building allows for flexible functional planning, with many of its common and circulation areas having the possibility to be easily (with small interventions and light constructions) converted into open-space office areas and many of its private enclosed office and meeting / conference rooms to be enlarged in order to host as many people as needed. Therefore, its is ensured that any specific needs of EMA in terms of room types and space can be easily addressed, with the maximum total office, meeting and conference facilities’ area reaching 30,000 m2. Keranis building currently offers an on-site storage area of 257 m2, suitable to serve as an archive room for EMA. Moreover, there are plenty of off-site storage areas, of appropriate size and technical features, in close proximity to the building, which could be rented in order to cover EMA’s further archiving needs. Indoor and outdoor parking facilities of a total area of 8,902 m2 and a total capacity of 549 places are provided. Indoor places are provided on ground floor level (110 places) and on underground floor level (162 places), off which 29 are automotive car lifts. Outdoor places are 248. Clearly separated entry/exit point has been established to facilitate the traffic flows and maximize the safety of the traffic movements in and out of the parking facilities. An extensive terrasse on the top of the building, with ample space and panoramic views, stands ready to be refurbished, in order to serve as a additional restsaurant/ café facilities.

1.2 Relocation Plan

Due to the fact that the Keranis building is an office building of special specifications, currently being in excellent condition, it is estimated that the re-construction/re-organization and E/M works required in order to fully adapt to the Agency’s specific needs, in terms of room types and space, will not be extensive, as also confirmed by the experts of the competent General Secretariat of Public Property/ Greek Ministry of Finances. A detailed plan will be elaborated, in close cooperation with EMA technical staff and in accordance to the specifications required by the Agency and delineated in the criteria, and with the supervision and technical support of the Greek Authorities, which will undertake the works. The estimated time for the full refurbishement of the Keranis building to meet EMA’s requirements, as prescribed in the relevant annexe of the document on the criteria for the relocation of EMA, will not exceed 6 months from the date of the official decision on the relocation of the Agency.

1.3 Financial terms and special conditions

The Keranis building is available to be rented by the Agency at a considerably lower cost than the respective cost in London. Specific financial terms and other special conditions concerning the maintenance, operating costs of and other privileges related to the Keranis building and the establishment of the Agency and its staff in Athens are foreseen.

AIA is ideally located at the eastern suburbs of the city. Its easy accessibility from anywhere in the city, including EMA’s future premises, is ensured via most means of public transport, as well as by private vehicle or taxi via the Attiki Odos Highway. The Athens extensive Metropolitan Public Transport Network provides reliable and safe transportation throughout Athens metropolitan area, whereas the city’s hotel and conference / convention centers capacities are unparalleled, allowing for the unobstructed continuation of the volume and intensity of current meeting activities of the Agency.

2.1 Athens International Airport

2.1.1 Traffic and passenger volumes

Since its opening in 2001, the Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” has seen an annual growth of 7% and has been placed on the list with the fastest growing airports in the world. It should be mentioned that during the period 2014-16 passenger traffic grew at a cumulative 60%, which is considered an astounding growth for a metropolitan airport. Reaching 20.02 million passengers in 2016, airport traffic exceeded prior-year levels by 1.9 million, a significant increase of 10.7%. Both domestic and international passengers achieved record levels, reached 7.1 million and 12.9 million and demonstrated a strong growth by 11.2% and 10.4%, respectively, while flights amounted to 189.1 thousand and surpassed respective 2015 levels by 7.4%. The impressive increase of flights to/from Eastern Europe, America and Middle East should be highlighted. After having reached in July 2016 the passenger terminal facilities “trigger point” (18.9 million passengers corresponds to 90% of the relevant capacity of 21 million annual passengers), AIA requested IATA to perform a passenger demand forecast for the next two years. IATA’s independent review confirmed that following a timely implementation of specific capacity improvement projects, airport’s passenger terminal facilities will be able to handle at least a volume of 26 million annual passengers. The following tables present analytical data on the aircraft movements and passenger traffic development of AIA in 2016.

4 Appropriate access to labour market, social security and medical care for both children and spouses

The Athens Metropolitan Area offers unhindered access to the best medical care through a wide range of primary health care services, as well as an extensive network of public and private hospitals. Expats working in Greece are entitled to medical treatment and free hospitalization, whereas there is also a great number of international private health insurance companies operating in the city of Athens. A variety of job opportunities in certain booming and English-speaking sectors offer employment opportunities for spouses and partners of EMA’s employees, while numerous international recruitment agencies will also be of great assistance to them.

4.1 Access to labour market, social security and medical care for EMA staff family members

In Greece, EMA employees and their families will enjoy the benefits of the full access to free public healthcare, which in Greece is guaranteed for all residents. Moreover, family members and partners will be granted maximum access to the Greek labour market and social security system, as also foreseen in the relevant TFEU articles and Greek legislation. Furthermore, the Greek Government will provide a Seat/Headquarters’ Agreement for EMA, along the lines of the European Commission Guidelines with standard provision for headquarters agreements of EU decentralised agencies. The Agreement will be signed before the Agency takes up its seat at the new location and will include, inter alia and where necessary, special provisions regarding access to labour market, social security and medical care for both children and spouses/partners of EMA staff.

EU citizens’ spouses and children If children and spouses are EU citizens, they are covered by article 20 (2) of TFEU and they enjoy the right to work either as salaried or non salaried. Regarding social security, every person who works in Greece is covered by social security; in particular with regards to pensions, the Greek law 4387/2016 (article 8, par. 2) stipulates the following: “Specifically in the cases of retirement from own right, the National Pension shall be paid to beneficiaries provided that they permanently and legally reside in Greece for at least fifteen (15) years between their 15th year of age and the year of their age in which they complete the provided age limit for the payment of the pension.” Finally, every person who legally resides in Greece has the right to medical care (law 4368/2016 - article 33). For EU citizens, a free card issued by a national health insurance provider, gives everyone access to state-provided healthcare, during a temporary stay in any of the 28 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, under the same conditions and at the same cost (free in some countries) as people insured in those countries.

Third country spouses and children of an EU citizen-employee of EMA

Greece’s candidacy to host the “European Medicines Agency” in Athens 68

For third country nationals, family members of an EMA employee, the Greek legislation foresees that they can freely reside in Greece and can take up salaried or non salaried employment (article 9 of presidential decree 106/2007). As far as social security and pension rights, the above-mentioned law 4387/2016 (article 8, par. 2) is applicable in this case as well. Finally, for medical care, as mentioned before, every person living legally in Greece has the right to free medical care by virtue of law 4368/2016.

For third country spouses and children of a third country national, employee of EMA In case of a third country member of the family of a third country employee of EMA, law 4251/2014 is applied both for the employees and the members of the family; consequently they can obtain a permit and reside freely in Greece. Therefore, the same rules regarding labour market access, social security and medical care, as mentioned above, are applied in these cases, too.

The Liaison Office, which will provide relocation-related services to EMA staff, will assist them, among other things, in matters of healthcare and social insurance. It will also provide specialized services to spouse and partners regarding job-seeking and their access to the labour market, in collaboration with International Recruitment agencies operating in Greece.

4.2. Greek labour market trends

4.2.1 Labour market trends

After a prolonged and deep recession, the Greek economy started to grow again in late 2016 and is projected to continue growing during the next two years.5 Labour market recovery is widely interpreted as a slow, but sustainable process, which produces greater confidence and less fiscal headwinds, creating in the long term an investment-friendly environment and a stronger cyclical recovery. It is expected that the ongoing and planned structural reforms in the labour market will boost further the economy and will enable an inclusive growth. Until today, Greece has implemented significant labour market reforms focused on tackling unemployment, creating new jobs in priority economic sectors, introducing flexible employment forms, empowering the vocational education and training and strengthening the social safety net. The aforementioned reforms are reflected in the significant progress made in decreasing unemployment and increasing flexible forms of employment. The following sectors are expected to play a greater role in economic growth: 1. Agri-food 2. Health medicines
