	Description:		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. Programme produced by Sophie Samaille, Isabelle Romero, Elitsa Gadeva and Anaïs Boucher
