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 7
Without prejudice to Directives 79/112/EEC and 76/211/EEC, the trade description on the pre-packaging of preserved sardines must correspond to the ratio between the weight of sardines in the container after sterilization and the net weight, both expressed in grams. (a) For the presentations defined in points 1 to 5 of Article 4, the ratio shall be not less than the following values: — 70 % for the covering media listed in points 1, 2, 4 and 5 of Article 5, — 65 % for the covering medium described in point 3 of Article 5; — 50 % for the covering media referred to in point 6 of Article 5. Where these values are complied with, the trade description must correspond to the presentation of the sardine on the basis of the corresponding designation referred to in Article 4. The designation of the covering medium must form an integral part of the trade description. In the case of products in oil, the covering medium must be designated by one of the following expressions: — ‘in olive oil’, where that oil is used, or — ‘in vegetable oil’, where other refined vegetable oils, including olive-residue oil, or mixtures thereof are used, or — ‘in … oil’, indicating the specific nature of the oil. (b) For the presentations referred to in point 6 of Article 4, the ratio referred to in the first subparagraph must be at least 35 %. (c) In the case of culinary preparations other than those defined in (a), the trade description must indicate the specific nature of the culinary preparation. By way of derogation from Article 2, second indent at point (b) of this Article, preparations using homogenized sardine flesh, involving the disappearance of its muscular structure, may contain the flesh of other fish which have undergone the same treatment provided that the proportion of sardines is at least 25 %. (d) The trade description, as defined in this Article, shall be reserved for the products referred to in Article 2.

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.
