Bureaucrat 1: Recipients of this EU schemes are asked to submit invoices upon the end of the project.
Bureaucrat 2: Let's also ask them to write a 100-page long end-of-mission report, 10 testimonies of beneficiaries and copies of Annual reports 10 years back.
Bureaucrat 1: But that is gold-plating!

Get the Reverse Praying Mantis mug.It’s when you ask someone where they place their milk in the fridge. Top, bottom, middle shelf areas. If they answer top they are into tops and if they answer bottom they are into bottoms and if they answer middle they are switches.
Where’s your milk placed? The top, it has to be on the top. No it does not it goes at the bottom. Ok now I know, you’re a bottom. What did you jsut do? I just did something called milk placing.
