ORDER
For these reasons, it is decided that:
1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the first instance for further prosecution on the basis that the subject-matter of Claim 1 of the first auxiliary request as amended in the oral proceedings before the Board is novel and inventive and meets the requirements of Article 123(2) EPC.
