If you say they are lying, then complain to RIPE NCC that they are doing their jobs wrongly. Apparently everybody who has gotten an allocation up to now have been able to reason that they need the allocation under the current policies. If you are not able to do so, though luck, you most likely don't need it in the first place then.
Sure they lie. I went on a BGP course a couple of years ago, and the instructor said that in his experience most people did because that's the only way to get what you need from RIPE. Current policies certainly don't fit us, for example. Looking in ripe-267, I see that in 5.1.1 there are four criteria for getting v6 space:
1) be an LIR - OK fine, we're an LIR.
2) not be an End Site - OK we're not.
3) plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organisations - yes, we will certainly do that - to which it will assign /48s etc etc - no, we will never do that as all our customers are LIRs.
4) have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other organisations etc etc - no, we will never assign such space as all our customers have their own already.
According to the above, either 4 is false or 2 is false and you are simply an endsite. Might sound harsh, but that is it... at the moment... Greets, Jeroen
