just have a look at the number of transfers pre-2013-03 and the number 
of transfers after the policy proposal was implemented.

Basically, transfers via the RIPE NCC (recorded in the registry) have 
become the standard for everyone in the RIPE region, financial artifices 
have not been used anymore (as far as I know) once the need-based 
barrier has been removed.
