The 1999 European Parliament elections in Greece to elect the Greek delegation to the European Parliament took place on June 13th. The electoral system used in Greece was a party political proportional representation with a hurdle of 3% for one party. The number of seats allocated to Greece was 25.

Result

The 1999 European elections were the fifth election to the European Parliament. The opposition conservative New Democracy Party won, as did the Communist Party of Greece, while the ruling Panhellenic Socialist Movement lost ground. Two parties on the left, the relatively new Democratic Social Movement and the Coalition of Left and Progress, each elected two MPs. The Political Spring, which elected two MEPs in 1994, was unsuccessful in exceeding the 3% threshold and did not elect any members.
