Thanks for this.  In publishing this data we have hoped that community 
members would make use of it in ways like this.

One caveat here, which some may not be aware of.  The "EU" code represents 
allocations which are made by RIPE-NCC in Europe, but not specific to a 
country.  Likewise, APNIC uses "AP" to denote similar allocations in the 
Asia Pacific region.

Records featuring these codes (EU and AP) do NOT represent totals for all 
allocations in the region.  To achieve this you need to add up allocations 
for all countries or economies you are interested in.
