Firearms regulation varies by member state, it is not an EU competency. We need to know which countries you're entering or travelling through.

By "silencer", do you mean a suppressor for a firearm or what Americans would call a muffler for a motor vehicle?

Or even a DNA sequence? Voting to close as "unclear". Please edit your question to clarify what kind of "silencer" you mean, and it can be reopened.

I'm asuming you talk about a silencer for a "real" firearm and not an air gun or the like. As Calchas pointed out, national laws apply. Europe has no constitutional right to carry and bear arms, a permit is required for each weapon.
In Germany silencers require a permit similar to a firearms permit, which would be extremely hard to get since the law recognizes few legitimate uses. ISTR that pest control on cemeteries are one exception. (A sports shooter can have a legitimate use for a .45 or 9mm, but never for a silenced 9mm.)
