This should read "and accept PA space from us". Sorry for the typo.
(I've exchanged a few more mails with Andreas in between, and it seems
that the issue isn't explained clearly enough in the RIPE LIR course -
but in any case it's documented in the "policies and procedures" RIPE
document. The network in question is PA space, and the answer is "you
can route it for a certain time, if both ISPs agree, but then the
PA space HAS to be returned to the ISP it belongs to").
