There are in fact spaces, but in the second such link on this line:

<A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.hon.ch/ HONcode/ Conduct.html? 
HONConduct961242">Verify here</A>

These spaces get encoded as %20 by most browsers or agents (such as  
the link checker), that's why you get this error.

Cheers,
