AD2000 (or EN 13445)- Positions of longitudinal seams

AD2000 (or EN 13445)- Positions of longitudinal seams

(OP)
Hallo!

My company produced a pressure vessel according to AD2000 German PV Code and today the vessel was inspected by TüV inspector.
It looks like a serious error and oversight occurred during production process so that inner- shells longitudinal seam was aligned with heating- jackets longitudinal seam and welded in that way. So, practically longitudinal seams touch in two points. (should normally be shifted by some angle).
Inspector did not wanted to accept this vessel.
Does anybody came across similar problems when it comes to AD2000 or EN 13445 or even ASME VIII-1?
What can we say or do to get out of this situation?
I am not an expert for AD2000 but i could not find any rule that strictly forbid such welding.

Thank you in advance for fast answers, it is pretty urgent! :)
