MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Al Jazeera – E-001439/2025

Question for written answer  E-001439/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Moritz Körner (Renew)

Al Jazeera has faced bans in several non-EU countries for inciting violence and sectarianism.

The European Union has implemented bans in the EU on several media outlets, for instance RT/Russia Today and Sputnik, primarily in response to concerns about propaganda and disinformation.

Could the Commission please answer each of the following questions giving its reasoning in each case:

• 1.Can it say why Al Jazeera has so far not been banned in the EU?
• 2.Does the Commission recommend the banning of Al Jazeera?
