Council Regulation (EEC) No 2136/89 of 21 June 1989 laying down common marketing standards for preserved sardines
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.
Change 1
Article 6
1. After sterilization, the products in the container must satisfy the following minimum criteria: (a) for the presentations defined in points 1 to 5 of Article 4, the sardines or parts of sardine must: — be reasonably uniform in size and arranged in an orderly manner in the container, — be readily separable from each other, — present no significant breaks in the abdominal wall, — present no breaks or tears in the flesh, — present no yellowing of tissues, with the exception of slight traces, — comprise flesh of normal consistency. The flesh must not be excessively fibrous, soft or spongy, — comprise flesh of a light or pinkish colour, with no reddening round the backbone, with the exception of slight traces; (b) the covering medium must have the colour and consistency characteristic of its description and the ingredients used. In the case of an oil medium, the oil may not contain aqueous exudate in excess of 8 % of net weight; (c) the product must retain the odour and flavour characteristics of the species ‘Sardina pilchardus Walbaum’ and the type of covering medium, and must be free of any disagreeable odour or taste, in particular bitterness, or taste of oxidation or rancidity; (c) the product must be free of any foreign bodies; (e) in the case of products with bones, the backbone must be readily separable from the flesh and friable; (f) products without skin and without bones must present no significant residues thereof. 2. The container may not present external oxidation or deformation affecting good commerical presentation.

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.

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.
