In this sentence, How I understand this sentence. I mean "apply by" or "apply to" which one is that I have to understand firstly. Um.. I mean.. Apply to the Ministry of Economic Development for the benefits in the program to support the assembly industry by the end of February or I just have to understand "to" like preposition not apply to. Thank you

Yours is a run-on sentence that is awkward and verbose. One alternative would be to insert commas: VW and GAZ plan to set up a joint venture and apply , by the end of February , to the Ministry of Economic Development for the benefits of the program to support the assembly industry. As a native speaker, I would rephrase as follows: By the end of February, VW and GAZ plan to set up a joint venture and apply for benefits to support the assembly industry.
