(1) In these Regulations, a “brand owner” means...—
(a) a person whose brand appears on an item of filled packaging; or

(i) is established in the United Kingdom; and
(ii) supplies an item of filled packaging on which that brand appears.
(2) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), a brand owner is a producer in relation to—
(a) filled packaging on which—
(i) that person’s brand appears, where that person is a brand owner by virtue of paragraph (1)(a); or
(ii) the brand of a body corporate in the same corporate group as that person appears, where that person is a brand owner by virtue of paragraph (1)(b); and
(b) any part of the packaging contained within, or forming part of, packaging referred to in sub-paragraph (a) (whether or not that part of the packaging is branded).
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), where more than one brand appears on filled packaging—
(a) if the brand owner in respect of one of those brands makes the first supply of the filled packaging, that brand owner is a producer;
(b) otherwise, the brand owner in respect of the brand which occupies the largest area of the external surface of the packaging is a producer,
in relation to that packaging, including any part of the packaging contained within, or forming part of, that packaging (whether or not that part of the packaging is branded).

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
