English term or phrase: competency creep
Een politieke partij klaagt aan dat uitspraken van het Europees Hof van Justitie meer rechtsgeldigheid hebben dan nationale wetgevingen van de lidstaten. Ze verwijst naar het fenomeen als "competency creep". Bestaat hiervoor een NL term?

sluipende bevoegdheidsuitbreiding
Explanation:
het heeft iets geleidelijks en iets stiekems, als ik het goed lees...

The years following the 1986 Single European Act witnessed a steady expansion of the EU’s “competencies”, i.e. the areas where the EU’s institutions exercise authority. To put a halt to this “competency creep,” EU leaders set up the famous ‘three pillars’ in the Maastricht Treaty.

This would greatly extend the power of the Court of Justice, which one of its judges once characterised as "a court with a mission" - that mission being to extend the powers of the EU as widely as possible by means of the case law of a Court that has become notorious for "competency creep".

sluipende machtsverschuiving


Explanation:
Ik denk dat de creep inhoudt dat de macht langzaam (maar wel zeker!) verschuift, zo langzaam dat niemand het in de gaten heeft, terwijl het na verloop van tijd toch duidelijk zichtbaar is, voor wie er op let.

Maar allereerst ontzenuwt het de vrees voor een sluipende machtsverschuiving richting Brussel, die uiteindelijk zou uitmonden in een soort ‘superstaat’.
