Why Do You Need a Sponsoring LIR?

According to the policy RIPE NCC, each end user must have an agreement with the service LIR. If there is no such agreement, then you, as the holder of independent provider of Internet resources, will be notified of the RIPE NCC that within 30 days, of your resources will be withdrawn from use and returned to the free pool.
