Fine point here is that 

	yes - MERIT will "mirror the RIPE DB" (actually they do so already)

	no -  MERIT will not mirror "the RIPE DB into the RADB, 
              so that the RADB contains the RIPE data as well"

The RIPE RR data is distinct from the RADB RR data.

For practical purposes of course the mirrored RIPE RR at MERIT may be more
convenient for ANS to access than the RIPE RR directly.
