If we suppose having multiple /22 per LIR is abusing then main "abuser" is RIPE NCC since RIPE NCC makes transfers and LIR merging allowing to receive second /22 etc. So you agree my initial reply that actually the change does not go far enough, it'd be better to completely prohibited selling IP (v4) and instead enforce withdrawing of not announced IP-Space aand returning it into the pool?
That way I am pretty sure we could quickly loosen the current /8 policy and return to a policy allowing requests of more then one /22 if need is shown .... and need may NOT be selling, but that'd be forbidden anyway then ;)
Announcing globally was never a requirement to receive IP addresses from RIPE, and changing policy retroactively is not a nice thing to do. And you wouldn't deter this kind of 'abuse' at all, if you're in the internet business I'm sure you know how easy it is to set up an announcement for a prefix.
