Sehr geehrte Herr Trebitti.

The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Economic Development have reviewed your communication with great attention. While we respect the decision of Herr Helmut Schmid, previous owner of Miningfactory Neuss, to have sold his modular base, your message raised some concerns, which we will address here.

- Concerns from a security perspective

As per our laws, section §7.4, no modular base should grant access to their docking bays to criminals, or people that are hostile to Rheinland. Thus, we have a problem with your willingness to change the IFF of the base to "Freelancer."

Although it would be neutral to Rheinland authorities, it would also be the case for every Rheinland criminals or ennemies, which is unacceptable. Any change of the modular base's IFF to "Freelancer" would be considered a violation of Rheinland Laws, and proper actions would be taken against the station.

- Concerns from an economic perspective

As per our laws, section §7.9.4, only Rheinland corporations have the right to build manufacturing modules, and sell products that were manufactured on the modular station.

New Horizon Industries is not a Rheinland corporation. Thus, you are not allowed to sell such products, nor have the capacity to produce them.
You are hereby invited to dismantle any manufacturing modules on Miningfactory Neuss. Of course, because you bought the base, we will leave you a week to do so, starting at the date of this communication, but if the modules have not been dismantled within the week (7/26/830), your base will be classified as illegal, and proper actions will be taken against it.

As for the other points you mentioned in your communication.

- Regarding the transports docked on the station:
As long as the paperwork is properly handled, and that your company abide by Rheinland Laws, you may use them as you see fit, within the scope determined by the law.

- Regarding the licencing and quarterly fees:
Your company will have to apply for a registration just like every citizen or investor, and pay the licencing fees.

Kind regards,
Susanne Huber
