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 European list of terrorist organisations[1].

In its reply to written question E-003065/2025[2], the Commission stated that it relies on the information provided by the Member States, and refers matters back to them as a matter of priority for the necessary measures.

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 European list?
• 2.Does it intend to submit a formal proposal to the Council for its inclusion on the list, as requested by the French National Assembly? If not, what are its precise reasons for refusing to do so?
• 3.What timetable and what specific measures is it considering to ensure that there is no impunity and no indirect funding of networks affiliated to this movement?
