German term or phrase: respektive zu

Dies* führt zu einem negativen Vorbescheid respektive zu einer negativen Verfügung unter Kostenfolge.
This will lead to an unfavourable preliminary decision and an unfavourable final decision with payment of a fee [guesswork]

* i.e. not answering questions in the context of a drug application procedure.

In a Swiss document. Is "respektive zu" Swiss German? Does it mean simply "and" or something else?

Thanks very much in advance!

I am thinking, either this is a clumsy way of putting this in German and my solution is correct. Or this could be eloquent German, and I missed the point.. We'll see..
