<p id="bkmrk-the-ev-guidelines-ha">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://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj">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://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation">VIES VAT number validation website</a> where Greece is listed
as"EL".<o:p></o:p></p>
<p id="bkmrk-there-is-also-counci">There is also <a href="https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2020/1756/oj">
Council Directive 2020/1756</a> amending Directive 2006/112/EC that requires the prefix "XI" for the identification of taxable persons in Northern Ireland.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p id="bkmrk-this-pull-request-pr">This <a href="https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/473" target="_blank">
pull request</a> proposes updates to the EV Guidelines to allow those additional prefixes. It also fixes some formatting issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
