Yuval,
You could apply for PI (Provider Independant) address space.
But you would still need to fill out a RIPE-141 outlining how
you intend to use the address space. The other problem with PI
space, is that a lot of the backbones don't like routing it unless
you have a fairly large aggregate.
The issues are raised in http://www.ripe.net/docs/ripe-127.html
