As long as there is no unified european law governing this, the RIPE
NCC and all contracts it makes are by default governed by dutch law.
There are cases where special contracts need to be made, governed by
another country's law (e.g., russian federation).

Nonetheless, as long as there is no such european general law that
applies to the RIPE NCC, the RIPE NCC is free to create agreements
that are legal under dutch law. What special laws any country within
RIPE's region creates or doesn't is entirely irrelevant to the RIPE
NCC's course _unless_ there is a special contract governed by that
country's law.

So, in order to follow Larissa's argument, the RIPE NCC would have to
create special/different contracts for contractors from different
countries, if the parties need the contract to be governed by that
country's laws.

I'm quite humble in legal matters, so if what I write above is crap,
discard it. But to me the problem of international contracts breaks
down to the simple thing of having an encompassing law or not.

Yours,
	Elmar.
