In this context, gold-plating refers to the way in which EU member states implement regulatory provisions deriving from the EU level.
To legally separate particular assets or liabilities within a company or other organisation.


Gold-plating means adding to the requirements and administrative burdens imposed by the original provision.
For example, to shield particular assets from the claims of the creditors of the non-ring fenced part of the entity.




The term often has a negative connotation, implying that the burdens of the gold-plated requirements are likely to be excessive, and disproportionate.
In the banking context, a 'ring fence' is the separation of some aspects of commercial banking (mostly retail) into a separate entity to reduce the probability of failure.


However, at the national level, regulators and others implementing strengthened regulatory regimes are likely to perceive their own changes as improvements.
