Purpose of the Ballot</span></span></p>
<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://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj"
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://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation"
moz-do-not-send="true">VIES VAT number validation website</a>
where
Greece is listed as"EL".</p>

There is also <a
href="https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2020/1756/oj"
moz-do-not-send="true">Council Directive 2020/1756</a>
amending
Directive 2006/112/EC that requires the prefix "XI" for the
identification of taxable persons in Northern Ireland.</p>
