5. Special Report No 7/2012 indicates that although demand for grubbing-up exceeded 350 000 ha its impact was limited by the fixed target of 175 000 ha and at the end only 160 550 ha were grubbed up with the help of EU aid; the Court of Auditors estimates that the grubbing-up scheme finally reduced the vineyard inventory area by around 5 % corresponding to approximately 10,2 million hl of wine withdrawn or 6 % of the usable wine production; points out, however, that far more land – 300 000 ha in all – has been grubbed up since the reform, and that no such aid was provided in respect of around 140 000 ha of that land, a figure that does not appear in the Court of Auditors’ report.

(5a) Taking into account the limited funds available to the programme and the pre- allocation of these funds to the various axes, funding priority should be given to the development of structures with a clear multiplier effect which will benefit further projects and initiatives, thereby adding more value to the investment. Appropriate measures should also be put in place to avoid any possibility of overlap and/or double-financing with other funds or programmes, in particular the European Social Fund.

(12) EURES’ scope should be widened to develop and support targeted mobility schemes at Union level with a view to filling vacancies where labour market shortcomings have been identified. In accordance with Article 47 of the Treaty, the scheme should facilitate mobility among young workers.

(2) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established by Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for the duration of the Financial Framework from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2013 to enable the Union to show solidarity towards workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to provide support for their rapid reintegration into employment. ~~This initial objective of the EGF remains valid~~Given the current state of uncertainty in which many Member States still find themselves, this initial objective of the EGF remains valid, as it enables, albeit on a modest scale, individually tailored services to be provided to workers who have lost their jobs as a result of collective redundancies caused by economic globalisation, which have a major impact at business, sectoral and regional levels.

(3) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on 'A budget for Europe 2020' recognises the role of the EGF as a flexible fund to support workers who lose their jobs and help them to find another job as rapidly as possible. The Union should continue to provide, for the duration of the Multiannual Financial Framework from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, specific, one-off support to facilitate the re- integration into employment of redundant workers in areas, sectors, territories or labour markets suffering the shock of serious economic disruption. Given its purpose, which is to provide support in situations of urgency and unexpected circumstances, the EGF should remain outside the Multiannual Financial Framework, thereby equipping the Union with a rapid response mechanism to provide support during unemployment crises.

The amount may not exceed 560% of the total of the estimated costs referred to in Article 8(2)(e) or 675% of these costs in the case of applications submitted by a Member State on the territory of which at least one region at NUTS II level is eligible under the "Convergence" objective of the Structural Funds. The Commission, in its assessment of such cases, will decide whether the 65% co- funding rate is justifiedthat is receiving assistance under the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism or through Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States' balances of payments1. _______________ 1 OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1.
