Propose a change

Council Directive 71/86/EEC of 1 February 1971 on harmonisation of the basic provisions in respect of guarantees for short-term transactions (political risks) with public buyers or with private buyers

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.

What to do with it
As published

Article 5 General principles of indemnification

The following principles must be observed: (a) The insured shall be required as regards the conclusion and performance of the guaranteed transaction to exercise all reasonable and usual care, skill and forethought; this requirement shall apply equally to the conduct of his agents, co-contractors or sub-contractors; (b) The insured shall be responsible for obtaining the necessary authorisations and for completing the legal formalities (including those which are incumbent upon the debtor until the entry into force of the contract); (c) Invalid debts shall not be indemnified.

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.
