Here's an answer from the RIPE NCC on the RIPE Address Policy mailing
list:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2012-May/006971.html

In principle, it seems that you should go to ARIN and APNIC and request
additional prefixes.

In practice, the RIPE NCC doesn't monitor this stuff. I'm not
recommending that you violate policy, just pointing out that it is very
unlikely that there will ever be any repercussions, and even then the
punishment will likely just be you having to get additional addresses
at that time.

The whole "regional Internet registry" is weird, since the Internet is
global. :-P

Cheers,
