Launch date in Europe

Could someone give me a good reason why Europe gets the game later than North America?

Just buy the game on Origin for European price for your region.
Then use VPN and connect to US server, start downloading ME:A, exit VPN, finish ME:A download. (unless you already pre-load ME:A sometime after Match 17st).
March 21st start VPN, start Origin, launch ME:A, stay on VPN if you want or disconnect (shouldn't matter after you start the game).

There ya go, you play on March 21st.

EA shouldn't care when you start the game, as long as you purchased the game for the price which is applicable to your country (due to tax/legal resons ect.).

2 days is nothing really, especially when for the most part of those 2 days people will be at work.

Ah there it is. Narrow minded, self absorbed ignorance.

For some strange reasons game will be released in Russia the same day as in USA. Good for me then

Because politics. They don't want to step on the toes of retailers by offering cheaper prices. While digital is on the rise, retailers still carry a lot of weight. Eventually, that will change.

Yeah. I debated internally getting Origin Access because of MEA, but in the end decided it's not really worth it. 10 days for 10 hours of gameplay in advance and some MP does't really seal the deal for me, especially since I know things at work will be hectic at that point and I wouldn't be able to play much anyway (and let's face it, 10 hours will be spent in CC alone). So yeah, I'll be in my blanket fort come March 16, staying away from spoilers. We'll probably get a couple of patches by 23rd anyway, so we're the lucky ones 

Access is worth it when you factor in the fact you get to play the game early and you get a discount. So in total, you won't be paying more than standard retail and if you time it correctly, you can play the 18th, 19th, and then VPN unlock on the 20th; move the dates up by one if you're not in the western hemisphere.
