</span></h3><p id="bkmrk-the-ev-guidelines-ha" dir="ltr" role="presentation">The
EV Guidelines have strict rules in the organizationIdentifier
values and require the country code of all currently-allowed
Registration Schemes (NTR, VAT, PSD) to follow the ISO 3166-1
for the 2-letter country prefix.<br>
<br>
The organizationIdentifier language mainly came from ETSI EN 319
412-1 and then the SCWG made several modifications. However,
there is an exception for Greece specifically for the VAT
Registration Scheme that is aligned with Article 215 of <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__eur-2Dlex.europa.eu_eli_dir_2006_112_oj&d=DwMDaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=-bX5hBm1IdRDykQ-dBR8tsFRCM4v1VXUyG7RZa2WqPY&m=PNCn_ffa75CiBnGLhsLfPcMbDezf9-SjWlry4XaGS3IPhDT9_ioreBvpPzomzkK-&s=5tMgzg6lswe35TTyiFPBUyNMIrz9Z8T4_GwqvRv1kPI&e=" rel="nofollow" moz-do-not-send="true">Council Directive
2006/112/EC</a> that allows Greece to use the country prefix
"EL". In practice, Greece uses the prefix "EL" to identify
itself next to the VAT number of all Legal Entities
registered/incorporated/established in Greece, and all other
European Countries use this prefix to identify Greek VAT
numbers. This can easily be verified in the <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ec.europa.eu_taxation-5Fcustoms_vies_-23_vat-2Dvalidation&d=DwMDaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=-bX5hBm1IdRDykQ-dBR8tsFRCM4v1VXUyG7RZa2WqPY&m=PNCn_ffa75CiBnGLhsLfPcMbDezf9-SjWlry4XaGS3IPhDT9_ioreBvpPzomzkK-&s=5LMkJXbc5x2gKrpzAXl58vFJSIkzmjmdlEbqUi_aJDw&e=" moz-do-not-send="true">VIES VAT number validation website</a>
