We need an investment agenda to deliver the EU's Green Deal: Greens co-chair Bas Eickhout The European Greens lost a third of their seats in the EU elections earlier this month. Bas Eickhout, co-president of the group in the European Parliament, points out that the Greens actually increased their strength in some parts of the EU – but admits that their message did not cut through to a lot of voters. The Dutch MEP tells Armen Georgian that it's now crucial to build on the EU's Green Deal with an investment programme. "If we do not get a European programme, we will see national investment programmes, and then the Dutch will lose to the Germans. Rotterdam harbour will lose to Hamburg harbour," he says.
