Why not to have a some rule to forbid IPv4 transfer from last /8 RIPE block for 3 or even 5 years? This will prevent companies to register LIR just for selling addresses.
This of course is very strict, but some restriction like this can help.
this sort of thing won't help. Transfers will happen anyway. The only thing that will happen as a result of attempting to ban transfers is that the transfer will not be documented, which will drive the address market underground. This benefits no-one.
Bear in mind that the purpose of the RIPE NCC registry is to ensure accurate registration of address resources, not to beat people with sticks and tell them what they can or cannot do.
