Bureaucratic procedures (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red tape

'bureaucratic procedures' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for red tape that I've seen before include "Unnecessary regulations" , "unnecessary paperwork" , "Bureaucratic procedures and paperwork" , "Colourful bureaucratic procedure" , "Excessive bureaucracy (3.4)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
