A non-exhaustive list of the products covered by the Directive appears in Annex II. The following shall be excluded from the Directive: — second-hand, worn footwear, — protective footwear covered by Directive 89/686/EEC ( 5 ), — footwear covered by Directive 76/769/EEC ( 6 ), — toy footwear. 2. Information on the composition of footwear shall be conveyed by means of labelling as specified in Article 4. (i) The labelling shall convey information relating to the three parts of the footwear as defined in Annex I, namely: (a) the upper; (b) the lining and sock; and (c) the outersole. (ii) The composition of the footwear shall be indicated as specified in Article 4 on the basis either of pictograms or of written indications for specific materials, as stipulated in Annex I. (iii) In the case of the upper, classification of the materials shall be determined on the basis of the provisions contained in Article 4 (1) and in Annex I, no account being taken of accessories or reinforcements such as ankle patches, edging, ornamentation, buckles, tabs, eyelet stays or similar attachments. (iv) In the case of the outersole, classification shall be based on the volume of the materials contained therein, in accordance with Article 4.

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.

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.
