RIPE should feel free set transfer policy that applies to resources in its region, but I'd recommend against developing policy based on a belief that ARIN policies don't apply to resources in its region, as the outcome will not match expectations.
Be assured, we don't do RIPE region policy based on ARIN beliefs. This was just a quite interesting and enlightening side-track discussion (even though I'm still missing an answer to the question what ARIN is going to do if a pre-ARIN address space holder without a contract with ARIN decides to sell their address space to a RIPE member).
