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>
