Yes. Take each ERX block that was moved from ARIN to RIPE and autosend an email to tech-c and admin-c and ask what they prefer to change the country code in that file to. The inetnum object already reflects the proper country code in 99% of the cases, but for some reason when ARIN and RIPE did the transfer years ago the delegated-ripencc-latest was ignored and all objects got recorded with country=EU. Give a time limit of 3 months after which no more changes allowed.
