If the address space originates from the RIPE NCC, it depends upon whether 
the space is Provider Independent (PI) or Provider Aggregatable (PA) address 
space. (Have a look @ RIPE-217: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/pi-pa.html .)
If it's PI address space, then it's your decision as to whether you want to
announce it, which may not be advisable depending upon the size of the
assignment. (Speak to your Networks team...)
 
> Would you know which RIPE's form would be used then?

Not applicable, as the Provider X made the assignment and should have
already completed a RIPE-141/219. You wouldn't be making an assignment,
therefore no need for any RIPE 'form.' You would need to amend the RIPE db
record for the assignment though (route object, maintainter, etc.). HTH.

What's the IP assignment?
