The European Biocidal Silver Task Force (the EU STF) takes note of the Commission's proposal to include silver in the Water Framework Directive (WFD)'s list of priority substances. The EU STF considers that: (a) the significant costs associated with including silver in the list will far outweigh its benefits, rendering the proposal disproportionate; and (b) the proposal is unscientific and contains critical errors.
