Fines don't increase the EU budget. Instead the contributions of the member states are reduced proportionally. The EU itself does not profit financially from fines and therefore I can't see even see a hint of a conflict of interest. But anyway, fines going into the general budget is a very usual situation which poses no problem in a stable administration.
