Propose a change

Council Directive 87/540/EEC of 9 November 1987 on access to the occupation of carrier of goods by waterway in national and international transport and on the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications for this occupation

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.

What to do with it
As published

Article 4

1.   Member States shall lay down the terms on which a transport undertaking may, by way of derogation from Article 3 (1), operate on a provisional basis for a maximum of one year, which period may be extended by not more than six months in special duly justified cases, in the event of the death or physical or legal incapacity of the natural person pursuing the occupation of carrier or the natural person complying with the provisions of Article 3. 2.   However, the competent authorities of the Member States may, by way of exception, permanently authorize in certain special cases the operation of an undertaking by a person who does not meet the condition of professional competence referred to in Article 3, but who has had at least three years' practical experience in the everyday management of the undertaking concerned.

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.

Think it through

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.
