gold-plating

A practice in European Union, when its Member State adds new (and often more demanding) requirements to those that are expected in common legislation - mainly directives. Sometimes caused by overzealous bureaucrats, sometimes it is just their pure idiocy.

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!
Bureaucrat 2: Sure, but we do not really want European money.
