This pricing does not make sense, and is far from typical. You are in YO, part of the RIPE
service region, and there is only an one-time cost of 50€ for LIRs to "sponsor"
you an ASN. The LIRs are free to add their markups, but I got my ASN 2 years ago from an
LIR for 60€ (I'm outside the RIPE region so I had to provide more documentations).[1]
The bottom line is that there is zero reason for LIRs to charge you annually, unless they
are providing fully-managed services for enterprise customers.
For transit, there are many VPS providers that provide BGP sessions starting from $5,
Vultr included (and yes, Vultr has EU locations).[2] If you want to use your AMPRNet
address at home, you can simply set up a tunnel to your VPS. And that leaves plenty of
room for you to do things for "the greater good" and provide your fellow hams
with a small slice of your address space :)

[1] If you want to take a look, there are several options listed on
<https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/160162/the-aio-ip-related-thread-ipv4-ipv6-asn-only-providers-or-lirs-are-allowed-to-post-offers/>.
But the usual disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with and do not vouch for any of the
providers listed there.

Ok I just looked it up... It is not hundreds per
month, you are right,
that was some time ago.
To be more precise, a typical offer is:
AS: 215€ the initial AS coste + 50€ the initial setup, then 230€ per
year just for renting and maintaining the AS...
Transit: I could not get an exact value for this, but it will clearly
top my 25€/month 1Gbps internet plan with 2 ISPs.
And then the ISPs are not willing to sell this services to private
persons, only to businesses, for which they have at least double tariffs
on internet services.
So in the end, i get at least 30-40€/month to be added to the existing
costs which will effective double my connection costs...
I may do things for "the greater good", but with limits.

It has been my experience that BGP peering is
usually free. Vultr.com
does not charge anything, nor does my local data center.
