Makes me wonder if this sort of thing isn't a more civilised version of the bribe. "Tell us what we need to hear to drive this through and we'll fine you later." The beauty of the system being that no-one ever needs to explicitly offer or ask for money.

the more civilized version of the bribe then also goes to the government as a whole instead of into the pockets of officials

The more civilized version of the bribe also gets officials a nice job with the bribe payer.
