Will UK stay in EMA after Brexit?
英国脱欧后还会留在EMA吗？

In the last weeks there were some rumours about the UK remaining member of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) even after leaving the European Union (the so called Brexit). Manufactures of medicinal products are strongly supporting such an approach ("Drug firms push for UK to remain part of EU medicines agency"). According a Sunday Express article, the "Prime Minister and the opposition have both demanded continued membership of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) after the country leaves the European Union". In this context, Theresa May said that "the UK and EU would both benefit from Britain's continued EMA membership".
上周有传言称英国可能在脱欧后还留在EMA。药品生产商们都踊跃支持此种做法。《周日快递》有文章说，“总理及在野党均希望在英国脱欧之后仍留在EMA”。在此情况下，特蕾莎梅说“如果英国留在EMA，英国和欧盟均会受益”。

Would this generally be possible? 一般情况下这是否可能？

The answer is 'yes'. Countries outside the EU but within the European Economic Area (EEA), such as Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, are part of the EMA. Switzerland, which isn't in the EU or EEA, works with the EMA through bilateral agreements and has implemented basic EU GMP and GDP guidance.
答案是“可能的”。EU以外但EEA内的国家，例如冰岛、挪威和列支敦士克，都是EMA成员。瑞士既不在EU也不在EEA，与EMA通过双边协议进行合作，其所实施的是基本的EU GMP和GDP指南。

But looking at the current discussion, it seems unlikely that UK will be part of EEA. And bilateral agreements are not part of the discussion yet.
但是看看现在的协商情况，貌似英国不太可能是EEA的一部分，而双边协议还没开始讨论呢。

The European Commission has a strong response to other suggestions, which makes it clear that a non-member state can not enjoy the same benefits as a member. This is summarised in a respective draft guideline presented by Donald Tusk in a recent statement: "The European Council further reiterates that the Union will preserve its autonomy as regards its decision-making, which excludes participation of the United Kingdom as a third-country to EU Institutions, agencies or bodies".
EC对其它建议做出了强烈回应，明确了非成员国不能享受成员国的同等利益。唐纳德·图斯克在最近的一份声明中提出了一份相关的指南草案，其中总结说“EC再次重申欧盟将保留其决定不接受英国参与欧盟议会、机构和组织的权力”。

The document even criticises these approaches as "cherry picking". In his statement, Tusk makes clear that "no Member State is free to pick only those sectors of the Single Market it likes, nor to accept the role of the EC only when it suits their interest. By the same token, a pick-and-mix approach for a non-member state is out of the question".
该文件甚至批评了那些“挑三拣四”的做法。在此声明中，图斯克明白地说“没有成员国能根据自己的利益自由地只挑选他们喜欢的单边市场，而拒绝接受EC义务。同理，不可能让一个非成员国挑挑拣拣再自由组合”。
