European Parliament and Council Directive 94/63/EC of 20 December 1994 on the control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions resulting from the storage of petrol and its distribution from terminals to service stations
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
ANNEX I REQUiREMENTS FOR STORAGE INSTALLATIONS AT TERMINALS
1. The external wall and roof of tanks above ground must be painted in a colour with a total radiant heat reflectance of 70 % or more. These operations may be programmed so as to be carried out as part of the usual maintenance cycles of the tanks within a period of three years. Member States may grant a derogation from this provision where required for the protection of special landscape areas which have been designated by national authority. This provision shall not apply to tanks linked to a vapour recovery unit which conforms with the requirements set out in Annex II, point 2. 2. Tanks with external floating roofs must be equipped with a primary seal to cover the annular space between the tank wall and the outer periphery of the floating roof and with a secondary seal fitted above the primary seal. The seals should be designed to achieve an overall containment of vapours of 95 % or more as compared to a comparable fixed-roof tank with no vapour-containment controls (that is a fixed-roof tank with only vacuum/pressure relief valve). 3. All new storage installations at terminals, where vapour recovery is required according to Article 4 of the Directive (see Annex II) must be either: (a) fixed-roof tanks connected to the vapour recovery unit in conformity with the requirements of Annex II; or (b) designed with a floating roof, either external or internal, equipped with primary and secondary seals to meet the performance requirements set down in point 2. 4. Existing fixed-roof tanks must either: (a) be connected to a vapour-recovery unit in conformity with the requirements of Annex II; or (b) have an internal floating roof with a primary seal which should be designed to achieve an overall containment of vapours of 90 % or more in relation to a comparable fixed-roof tank with no vapour controls. 5. The requirements for vapour-containment controls mentioned under points 3 and 4 do not apply to fixed-roof tanks at terminals, where intermediate storage of vapours is permitted according to Annex II, point 1.

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.
