What do you mean, almost? EA is literally a member of Video Games Europe, the organization which manages PEGI.

So, we're moving on from bribery and straight to conflict of interest?

This is the case for both PEGI and ESRB, they are insider operated organizations developed to skirt regulations in the form of 'self governance'.
