The FIA was banned from interfering in the financial side - at all - in 2001 by the EU due to concerns about monopolistic behaviour. The whole budget-cap issue is moot because the FIA can't, technically speaking, be involved in forcing financial change.

Monopolistic behaviour?  Since when does the FIA have any competition at all?

The FIA doesn't organise A1GP or most of the American series (though they are inscribed in its international calender). It also doesn't organise MotoGP (though the regulations for it are set by sister organisation FIM) or the IRC. The likes of Tony George, the FIM leadership and whoever runs the International Rally Championship all have an interest in the FIA being prevented from being a monopoly provider of motor sport.
