Re: Can anyone shed some light on this?

I guess that you have to ask RIPE NCC hostmasters to put the newly invented
(RPSL) "mnt-routes:" attribute to your inetnum object:

inetnum:      212.249.0.0 - 212.249.255.255
netname:      CH-UUNET-981023

The RPSL security mechanisms are pretty complex. In order to create a route
object the inetnum's "mnt-routes:" and aut-num's "mnt-by:" must point to
the maintainer object(s) authorizing you to make changes.
