We have the following for PI address space in the IPv4 policy, which 
can be found at:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html#pa_pi

"The RIPE NCC no longer allocates PI address space. Consequently, many 
LIRs  do not have PI allocations from which to make PI assignments. If 
an LIR has  an End User that requires PI address space they are able to 
support them by sending these requests to the RIPE NCC on behalf of the 
End User. This support includes helping End Users prepare a properly 
documented request. The RIPE NCC will make PI assignments when 
justified."

The AS policy document is more explicit:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asn-assignment.html#requesting

"The RIPE NCC assigns AS Numbers for Autonomous Systems located in the 
RIPE NCC service region and only accepts requests for AS Numbers from 
LIRs. LIRs may request AS Numbers on behalf of other organisations."
