On 22 January 2026, the French National Assembly adopted a resolution explicitly calling on the Commission to submit to the Council a proposal to include the Muslim Brotherhood movement and its leaders on the EU list of terrorist organisations[1].

That resolution is based in particular on a report by the French Ministry of the Interior setting out the infiltration strategy, the structured organisation and the danger posed by Brotherhood networks to public order and national security. Despite the situation having been clearly laid out, the Commission has so far stuck to the principle of leaving it solely to the Member States to take the initiative in this matter[2].

Yet a national parliament has just adopted a position and specifically called on the EU to act.

• 1.Does the Commission now believe that the political and factual conditions exist to initiate, with the Member States, the evaluation procedure for adding the Muslim Brotherhood movement to the EU list of terrorist organisations?
• 2.Does it intend to submit a formal proposal to the Council for its inclusion on the list, in accordance with the request made by the French National Assembly?
