Since I have been reporting SPAM for some time, missing, out-of-date  or 
inaccurate contact information has always been a problem.

A number of contact addresses are listed as some public general mail 
server such as gmail, hotmail etc.
All of those are pretty much useless.
Since RIPE registers the actual user, it should insist on a usable 
contact address at the registering organization.

In addition, if this issue is taken seriously, then RIPE ought to 
provide a means of reporting 'abuse' by the registering organization of 
this feature.
