| A spokesperson for the company overseeing renovations, Stroikomplekt, said workers had been gold-plating the tower's cupola. |

| The agency directive was not welcomed by business, and further gold-plating of EU rules can only cost jobs. |
| The work of preparing the copper rings around the wooden mast and gold-plating them is going on. |
| We would also hope that the Commission will come back to the idea of giving citizens the right of action when Member States do go in for gold-plating. |
| When building infrastructure, governments walk a tricky line between counterproductive tight-fistedness and unnecessary gold-plating. |
