I have two questions for the EPA and I will ask the representatives of SWAN for a comment if I have time. SWAN believes that the risk-based assessment is done only on the water framework directive and that appears to be the case based on comments from the EPA. Is the risk-based assessment done on the water framework directive or does it look at wider issues and impacts on habitats and biodiversity?
