Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax
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 3
1. For a given calendar year, the base for the VAT-based own resource shall be determined by dividing the total amount of net VAT receipts collected by a Member State from the transactions referred to in Article 2 during that year, corrected in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, by the definitive multi-annual weighted average rate, as calculated in accordance with the method set out in Article 4. That definitive multi-annual weighted average rate shall be expressed as a percentage, applying the method set out in Article 4. 2. The total amount of net VAT receipts referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be corrected to account for the following: (a) any amounts to be treated for own resource purposes as transactions originating in or destined for a Member State although originating in or destined for a territory referred to in Article 6 of Directive 2006/112/EC; (b) any amounts accruing from transactions originating in or intended for one of the places referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2006/112/EC, insofar as a Member State is able to prove that the revenue has been transferred to that place; (c) any amounts due following corrections resulting from infringements of Directive 2006/112/EC. 3. The amount determined by application of paragraph 1 of this Article shall be multiplied by the uniform call rate under point (b) of Article 2(1) of Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 to obtain the VAT-based own resource that is to be made available to the Union budget.

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.
