Commission Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 of 22 November 1993 on the mutual recognition of procedures for the complete denaturing of alcohol for the purposes of exemption from excise duty

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

ANNEX

List of products with their Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number authorised for the complete denaturing of alcohol. Acetone CAS: 67-64-1 Denatonium benzoate CAS: 3734-33-6 Ethanol CAS: 64-17-5 Ethyl tert-butyl ether CAS: 637-92-3 Fluorescein CAS: 2321-07-5 Gasoline (including unleaded gasoline) CAS: 86290-81-5 Isopropyl alcohol CAS: 67-63-0 Kerosene CAS: 8008-20-6 Lamp oil CAS: 64742-47-8 and 64742-48-9 Methanol CAS: 67-56-1 Methyl ethyl ketone (2-butanone) CAS: 78-93-3 Methyl isobutyl ketone CAS: 108-10-1 Methylene blue (52015) CAS: 61-73-4 Solvent naphtha CAS: 92062-36-7 Spirits of turpentine CAS: 8006-64-2 Technical petrol CAS: 92045-57-3 The term ‘absolute ethanol’ in this Annex has the same meaning as the term ‘absolute alcohol’ used by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. In all Member States, any dye may be added to the denatured alcohol to give it a characteristic colour, making it immediately identifiable. I. The common denaturing procedure for completely denatured alcohol employed in Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland: Per hectolitre of absolute ethanol: — 1,0 litre isopropyl alcohol, — 1,0 litre methyl ethyl ketone, — 1,0 gram denatonium benzoate. II. An increased concentration of the common denaturing procedure for completely denatured alcohol, employed in the following Member States: The United Kingdom. Per hectolitre of absolute ethanol: — 3,0 litres isopropyl alcohol, — 3,0 litres methyl ethyl ketone, — 1,0 gram denatonium benzoate. Croatia Per hectolitre of absolute ethanol: A minimum of: — 1,0 litre isopropyl alcohol, — 1,0 litre methyl ethyl ketone, — 1,0 gram denatonium benzoate. Sweden Per hectolitre of absolute ethanol: — 1,0 litre isopropyl alcohol, — 2,0 litres methyl ethyl ketone, — 1,0 gram denatonium benzoate. III. Additional denaturing procedures for completely denatured alcohol employed in certain Member States: Czech Republic Per hectolitre of absolute ethanol: — 0,4 litre solvent naphtha, — 0,2 litre kerosene, — 0,1 litre technical petrol. Greece Only low quality alcohol (heads and tails from distillation), with an alcoholic strength of at least 93 % volume and not exceeding 96 % volume can be denatured. Per hectolitre of hydrated alcohol of 93 % volume, the following substances are added: — 2,0 litres methanol, — 1,0 litre spirit of turpentine, — 0,50 litre lamp oil, — 0,40 gram methylene blue. At a temperature of 20 °C, the end product will reach, in its unaltered state, 93 % volume. Finland – authorised until 31.12.2018 Per hectolitre of absolute ethanol any of the following formulations: 1. 2,0 litres methyl ethyl ketone, 3,0 litres methyl isobutyl ketone. 2. 2,0 litres acetone, 3,0 litres methyl isobutyl ketone.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
