Change 1
ANNEX
Conditions for the pursuit of fishing activities by Community vessels in the Seychelles fishing zone 1. The competent authorities shall forward, at regular intervals, the list of the vessels which will fish under the Agreement. 2. The fees provided for in Article 4 of the Agreement and payable by the owners of vessels referred to in 1 above are hereby set at 20 ECU per tonne caught in the Seychelles fishing zone. 3. Once the Agreement enters into force, the sum of 120 000 ECU shall be paid by the shipowners to the Seychelles' Treasury as an advance on the fees. 4. A provisional statement of the fees due in respect of each fishing year shall be drawn up at the end of each calendar year, on the basis of the catch statements drawn up by the shipowners and forwarded simultaneously to the Seychelles' authorities and to the competent authorities of the Commission of the European Communities. The corresponding amount shall be paid to the Seychelles' Treasury by 31 December of the current year at the latest. The final statement of the fees due in respect of a fishing year shall be drawn up by the competent authorities of the Commission of the European Communities, taking into account available scientific opinion, particularly of FAO and ORSTOM experts established in Seychelles, and any statistical data which can be gathered by an international fishing organization in the Indian Ocean. The shipowners shall be notified of the statement and shall have 30 days in which to meet their financial obligations. 5. All payments of the fees provided for in this Annex shall be made via the relevant Community authorities. 6. Upon expiry of the Agreement, the sum paid as an advance shall be deducted from the final payment; however, if the amount of the sums due for actual fishing operations in the course of the first year does not equal the advance, the corresponding outstanding sum shall not be recoverable. 7. Before application of the Agreement, the Seychelles' authorities shall give notice of the arrangements for the payment of fees, and in particular the accounts and the currencies to be used. 8. While they are engaged in fishing activities in the Seychelles fishing zone, vessels shall communicate to the Victoria radio station every three days their position and catches and, at the end of each trip, the result of their catches. Vessels shall take observers on board, at the request of the authorities of Seychelles. An observer must not be present for longer than the time required to make spot checks on the catches. Moreover, vessels may take on board, at the request of the Seychelles' authorities, Seychellois fishermen to carry out the role of observer over and above their seamen's duties; such member of the crew carrying out the duties of observer shall have access to the places and documents necessary for these purposes. 9. The Seychelles' authorities and the beneficiaries of the Agreement will lay down the conditions for using port equipment. 10. To avoid any adverse effect on small-scale fisheries in Seychelles, fishing by seiners shall not be authorized in the continental shelf area as defined by the 200-metre isobath or within the three-mile limit around the rafts placed by Seychelles. PROTOCOL between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Republic of Seychelles

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.
