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.

As published

Article 1 Scope

1. Member States shall, under the conditions laid down below, exempt temporary imports from another Member State of motor-driven road vehicles (including their trailers), caravans, pleasure boats, private aircraft, bicycles, tricycles and saddle-horses from: — turnover tax, excise duties and any other consumption tax, — the taxes listed in the Annex hereto. 2. The exemption referred to in paragraph 1 shall also apply to the normal spare parts, accessories and equipment imported with these means of transport. 3. Commercial vehicles shall be excluded from the exemption referred to in paragraph 1. 4. (a) The scope of this Directive shall not extend to the temporary importation of private vehicles, caravans, pleasure boats, private aircraft, bicycles and tricycles for private use which have not been acquired or imported in accordance with the general conditions of taxation in force on the domestic market of a Member State and/or which are subject by reason of their exportation to any exemption from or refund of turnover tax, excise duty or any other consumption tax. For the purposes of this Directive, means of transport acquired under the conditions referred to in Article 15 (10) of Directive 77/388/EEC ( 4 ) shall be deemed to have satisfied the general conditions of taxation in force on the domestic market of a Member State; however, Member States may deem means of transport acquired under the conditions referred to in the third indent of the said point 10 not to have satisfied these conditions. (b) The Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, shall, before 31 December 1985, adopt Community rules on the grant of exemption to the means of transport referred to in the first paragraph of (a) above, taking into account the need to avoid cases of double taxation and the need to ensure normal, full taxation of means of transport for private use.

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.
