How about:
"For transfers from RIR regions which require the RIPE region to have needs-based policies, recipients must provide a plan to the RIPE NCC for the use of at least 50% of the transferred resources within 5 years."
Is this a needs based policy that is compatible with ARIN's requirement?
Yes - any policy text which 'requires the recipient to have operational need for the address space, and to demonstrate that need to their RIR for transfer approval' is deemed a "compatible, needs-based" policy [1]. The specific criteria on recipients should be that which the RIPE community feels is appropriate for its region.
