 I think doesn't make any sense to approve in RIPE sub-allocations. Earlier it
was important, while count of IP addresses were very limited. And RIPE tried
to give as much IPs as need LIR/user/etc. For now we don't have IPv4 in RIPE.
And it is not necessary to control sub-allocations. It is a good alternative
for temporary transfers.

 For example, if you go to register buying house and government will ask why
you need house, how many rooms do you need, and etc. And they can approve or
reject your request. It is not necessary. If you need IPs and you found IPs -
of course you will pay money for this IPs and you will get as much as you
need. 

 Less work for RIPE, less bureaucracy, simple re-usage - just register and go.
You need just several minutes to register records in RIPE database.

So there will not be any requirement whatsoever on the receiving ISP to
justify their need for the received block, in the way they would have if
they had gone through a full transfer instead?
