When a Member State is made aware of large-scale redundancies caused by globalisation, it immediately mobilises its employment services to design a plan to help the workers affected. Once the plan is ready, it may submit an application to the European Union for part-funding through the EGF. The European Commission will assess the plan and propose it to the EU's Budgetary Authority (the Council and the European Parliament) for its approval. If the Council and Parliament approve the proposal, the Member State may receive up to 50% of the cost of its action plan (up to 65% if the application was submitted between the 1st of May 2009 and the 31st December 2011).
