Sehr geehrter Herr Meier,

my name is Renate Bommel and I'm sure you remember me from our previous conversation.

Ze Rheinland Polizei has intercepted an ALG Golem Heavy Mover wiz ze callsign Koepchen.Merchant.Ship on friday, ze 26.04.843 at around 11:30 SMT. Ze transport entered Rheinland space wiz a load of toxic waste claiming to supply your ALG base wizin ze cologne system. Zis is, since zis week, a violation of §3.2.8.

I'm sure you are already aware of zis issue, but as I agreed, I explain zis to ze Koepchen Administration directly.

According to §3.2.8. it is not allowed for non-Rheinland corporations to transport supply goods to any modular installation. It doesn't matter neizer ze goods are purchased wizin ze empire nor if ze destination is in Rheinland house space. Ze captain of your ship was under ze impression, zat ALG is a Rheinland corporation and ze law does not apply to it. Zis is not ze case - since ze civil war, ALG is considered as indepedent corporation; §3.3.2. confirms zis, it only identifies

• Kruger Mineralen
  
• Republikanische Großspedition
  
• Daumann Heavy Construction
  

as Rheinland corporation. Zerefore your ship needs a permission to supply toxic waste to ze Koepchen Depot (as well as to supply ze Falster station wiz Mox). The captain of ze ship was not able to provide such a permission, consequently ze shipping of goods wizout permission is handled in §3.1.3., which declares ze cargo as contraband.

Your luck is, zat §3.1.1.1. consideres ALG in ze context of restricted goods as Rheinland corporation and §2.2.3. confirmes, zat even if ze toxic waste would be considered as contraband, you'd have permission to transport ze goods.

As result only ze 50.000 sc according to §3.2.8. were levied for not having ze respective permission to supply a modular installation. Zis fine is independent of ze cargo space of ze offending persons ship. I also have no ability to waive zis fine, as ze law clearly demands ze fine in any case.

Please forward ze fine to KPR|Bank wizin ze next week.

I'd recommend to apply for such a permission at ze respective office of ze Rheinland Ministry of Economic Development.
