This is indeed true but misses the point that laws tend to exist
either when there is an actual 'thing' to make laws about or are
framed in such a way to allow the courts the latitude to include 'new
things' in the same piece of legislation. Since RPKI is not currently
a 'thing' but rather a 'new thing' I would be wary of relying on legal
opinion that says:

"There is no specific Dutch legislation that can be used to order the
deregistration of Internet number resources or change the registration
details of Internet number resources. Nor is there any legislation
that applies to the revocation of certificates over Internet number
resources."

What you are looking for is legislation (as pointed out by Malcom)
that can be used to restrict/control access to the internet which
appears to exist at least at a European level
