 5.5 Transfers of Allocations
 Any LIR is allowed to re-allocate complete or partial blocks of IPv4 address space that were previously allocated to them by either the RIPE NCC or the IANA. Such address space must not contain any block that is assigned to an End User.
 
-Address space may only be re-allocated to another LIR that is also a member of the RIPE NCC. The block that is to be re-allocated must not be smaller than the minimum allocation block size at the time of re-allocation. An LIR may only receive a transferred allocation after their need is evaluated and approved by the RIPE NCC, following the policies set for receiving further allocations within RIPE region (see the Section 5.3 Additional Allocations of this document).
+Within the RIPE NCC service region, address space may only be re-allocated to another LIR that is also a member of the RIPE NCC.

+Other than for an additional allocation, for the purpose of determing need, a period of 24 months is used in evaluating a transferred allocation.

 Re-allocation must be reflected in the RIPE Database. This re-allocation may be on either a permanent or non-permanent basis.
