The European Parliament election of 2009 in Greece for the election of the delegation from Greece to the European Parliament in 2009 took place on June 7, 2009. The election system used in Greece is party-list proportional representation with a 3% threshold for any party. The number of seats allocated to Greece declined from 24 to 22, as a result of new member states joining the European Union (EU). Consistent with EU-wide rules, Greek citizens resident in another of the 26-member states were permitted to vote in the place where they currently reside. ==Participating parties== On 24 May, the Greek Court of Cassation, the country's supreme court, accepted the applications of 27 of the 33 parties which applied to contest the elections. The court banned six parties from participating: *Alternative Ecologists *Party of Responsible Citizenship (''Κόμμα του υπεύθυνου πολίτη'')〔()〕 *Dimokratiki〔()〕 *Party of Uprising Pensioners of Greece (''Κομματικός Ξεσηκωμός Συνταξιούχων Ελλάδας'') *Panagriarian Workers Movement (''Παναγροτικό Εργατικό Κίνημα'') *Political Greek-European Animal-Loving Movement (''Πολιτικό Ελληνοευρωπαϊκό Φιλοζωικό Κίνημα'') *Animal-Loving Ecologists of Greece (''Οικολόγοι Ζωόφιλοι Ελλάδος'') In addition, the court ruled that the following parties could not participate as part of the Coalition of the Radical Left: *Democratic Social Movement *Movement of Active Citizens *Movement for the United in Action Left *Kokkino〔()〕 *Xekinima *Ecosocialists Greece〔() 〕 *Group Rosa (''Ομάδα ΡΟΖΑ'') A judicial dispute ensued, when Drasi filed a petition before the Council of State to annul the ministerial decision, through which the time for political advertising spots on the radio and television would be allocated, since it disproportionately favored established parties. A preliminary ruling sent the dispute to the Council of State's plenary session, which will hear the petition for annulment on September 25, 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Parliament election, 2009 (Greece)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
