The '''Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre''' ('''RIPE NCC''') is the [[RIR]] for Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. The main focus of the RIPE NCC is the allocation of Internet number resources
(INRs)
and the maintenance of a registry of all allocated
INRs
in its service region.<ref>[http://www.ripe.net/ ripe.net]</ref>

The RIPE NCC was established on September
16th,
1990
,
to deal with administrative tasks for RIPE, although it was not formally established and recognized until 1992. The RIPE NCC did not become a separate legal entity until 1998. Although the two organizations are legally independent today, they remain highly interdependent. The RIPE NCC supports RIPE by facilitating RIPE
meetings
and providing support for RIPE
working groups
. The RIPE NCC maintains the RIPE Database, a public database containing registration details of the IP addresses and AS
numbers
originally allocated to members by the RIPE NCC.<ref>[http://www.ripe.net/ripe/about/the-history-of-ripe RIPE History], ripe.net.</ref>

In November 2011, the RIPE NCC received a temporary order from Dutch police that prevented any changes from being made to a registration of four specific blocks of [[IPv4]] address space in the RIPE Registry. The injunction was ordered the

On September 14, 2012, the RIPE NCC distributed the last blocks of IPv4 address space that it had available. As a result, the RIPE NCC is now distributing IPv4 address space to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) from the last /8 according to section 5.6 of "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region”.<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120914_ripe_ncc_distributed_last_ipv4_address_space_from_available_pool/
