Which is strange as the mainainer is us AS702-mnt. Any help on this matter whould be appreciated as this is not the only one.
You need to pass, as I understand it, authorisation on the inetnum the route is for, the autnum you're originating from, and the existing route object if you're replacing one. 212.249.0.0/16 is mnt-by RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT, so you fail the first check. Ask RIPE nicely to add mnt-lower and mnt-routes as AS702-MNT to the 212.249.0.0/16 inetnum object and you should be away.
