In v3 of the RIPE Database in order to create an inetnum object one
needs to pass hierarchical authorisation, defined in an inetnum object
that protects the IP space. In your case this is an "encompassing"
0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 inetnum object, and the space below is
protected by RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT by "mnt-lower:" attribute.

Registration information of this "legacy" address space (registrations
of address space belonging to European ISPs kept in the ARIN database)
is planned to be transferred to the RIPE Database. This will solve the
problem you mentioned. 

If you need this registration urgently, you may contact RIPE NCC
Registration Department (lir-help at ripe.net) so they will help you.


Regards,

Andrei Robachevsky
DB Group Manager
RIPE NCC
