In Greece in 2025, there were 201 worker deaths.

Omissions

• The MEP did not cite any source for the figure. The 201 figure originates from OSETEE, a trade union federation, not from the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) — the official government statistics body.
• The OSETEE data uses a broader definition of workplace fatalities, including sectors and causes that are excluded from official ELSTAT statistics. The official figure for 2025 had not been published by ELSTAT as of the session date.
• The OSETEE data is described as 'preliminary' and 'at least 201', meaning the final toll may be higher. The MEP stated the figure as a definitive count rather than a minimum.
• The OSETEE report was published in early January 2026, after the close of 2025, so the MEP could have known it at the session date of 2026-05-20.
